Summary/Abstract: The text presents an overview of Jean-Luc Nancy’s positions on the issues of sense and meaning in contemporary world, philosophy, and theory at large. It particularly examines the political and ethical aspects of Nancy’s work from the 1980’s and the 1990’s, and thus not only emphasizes these as central notions and conceptions of his philosophy, but therein also discerns the distinguishing marks of his whole work. To that effect, particular attention is given to Nancy’s concepts of community and the communal, as well as his notions of presence and world.
