Sense as being-with and touch in Jean-Luc Nancy

Abstract

In this article we ask ourselves about how does our world make sense today, over and over again? This is the question that Nancy continually tries to answer throughout her research. From the lack of an outside or an Other, as a creator or abstract principle with which we relate, the world no longer has sense, but, as long as we exist, it is sense. No sense to be donated or spread, we will see how we have to change the grammar of this sense which is no longer expressed with the verb “to have”, but rather with the verb “to be”. “Changing the sense of sense”, with the passage of the verb “to have” to the verb “to be”, implies not only a new relationship with the world, but a new conception of praxis, in which it is the agent of the operation that changes and not the work. It is necessary to think about the world that, in this way, becomes inseparable from its praxis because it has always been exposed and written in the world.
