Il tempo del desiderio. Per Jean-Luc Nancy

Abstract

This essay aims to sketch the philosophical profile of Jean-Luc Nancy by analysing his last works on pandemics. In these writings the author develops a pecu- liar and pivotal care and concern for the present time, which does not actually ap- pear to be different from that produced in other works of the author’s such as “Being Singular Plural” or “The Sense of the World”. This allows us to speak of “a desire for the present” in the philosopher’s opus, which finds in the question of technology an ideal position for analysis.
