[Bradley · Rating 5 out of 5]

Dense, but well worth the grunt work. Really rewarding blend of Heidegger, and post-modern philosophy. If you can get a grip on the beautiful wordplay that seeps onto every page, the Heidegger-esque repetition of seemingly disconnected words, then you will enjoy this wonderful text. Nancy is considered a premiere Continental Philosopher for a reason. He is definitely a heavy-hitter.
