Abstract

To obviate both myth and nihilism, Nancy suggests a concept of community based on the ontology of event. At the same time, he proceeds from the experience of addressing and exposing, which in fact exceeds this ontology. Moreover, it implies different ethical attitude – addressing/exposing and establishing ties with others instead of maintaining flowing identity (openness toward the coming). Therefore, Nancy’s approach – in spite of his own intention – demonstrates the impossibility of reducing community to ontology. Community calls for the deciding subject, the one who is not merely an effect of différance but devotes her- or himself to the very project of “being-together.”
