Taking the body as an intersection of pulsing life and destructive cruelty on a global scale, Nancy's account becomes more vivid, more physical, than ever. This vividness is manifest in blood: as it flows, in all its pulsing and forceful circulation, and as it spills, in the cruelty of existences confronted daily by countless destructions. This can be described as \u003ci\u003esanguis\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003ecruor\u003c\/i\u003e, the two Latin words for blood's intermingled but distinct aspects. This distinction allows Nancy to highlight an almost mystical sense of the body (yet one that remains soberly on this side of its manifest insistence), alongside the cruelty that pervades our world--a world whose very existence is threatened by its reduction to mere objects. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe exceptional writings brought together in \u003ci\u003eCorpus III\u003c\/i\u003e comprise a masterful work of philosophy that marries rigorous erudition--on Freud, Nietzsche, and others--with rich poetic language. Nancy's thought opens the body onto its own unaccountable origins, its plural singularities, its enmeshed instantiations, and its excessive irreducibles, which are also the elusive excesses of language. Bringing into English the last book Nancy completed before his death, \u003ci\u003eCorpus III\u003c\/i\u003e offers an evocative meditation by a great thinker on the complex conditions of his own--and our--singular survival. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eJean-Luc Nancy \u003c\/b\u003e(1940-2021) was Distinguished Professor of Philosophy at the Université Marc Bloch, Strasbourg.
