Artemy Magun

A Conspiracy of Hymn

PDF, 18 Seiten

The chapter is dedicated to Nancy’s theory of “adoration,” which it compares with the works of two authors contemporary with him: Giorgio Agamben and Vladimir Bibikhin. Adoration is not just the infinite relationship to the Other but also an existential core of affective life seen from its affirmative, jubilant side. Addressed, and jubilant, adoration is a self-reflexive relation that does not have a particular content, a self-affirmation of itself. The three examined philosophers join, independently of one another, to provide an apology of apology (hymn to hymn). The chapter claims that this attitude has a wider historical meaning, the hymnic attitude uniting the Catholic and Orthodox philosophers in their defense against the post-Protestant melancholia.

Susanna Lindberg (Hg.), Artemy Magun (Hg.), ...: Thinking With—Jean-Luc Nancy

With this book, we would like to resume the passionate conversation that Jean-Luc Nancy was engaged in throughout his life, with philosophers and artists from all over the world. Now that he has passed away, it is not enough for us to simply reflect on his work: we would like to stay true to the stance to which his thought invites us, in a pluralistic and communal way. Jean-Luc Nancy takes up the old philosophical question of truth as a praxis of a with — understanding truth without any given measure or comparison as an articulation of a with. It is a thinking responsible for the world from within the world, a language that seeks to respond to the ongoing mutation of our civilization.
