AT THE LIMITS OF PRESENTATION - MARTTA HEIKKILÄ...

This study explores the significance of art in Jean-Luc Nancy's philosophy. The main object of
the work is to discuss the notion of art and its contribution to some of Nancy's central
ontological ideas. Art's importance is considered in its own right - the main questions being
whether art does have ontological significance  and if so  how one should describe this with
respect to the theme of presentation. According to the work's central argument  with his
thinking on art Nancy attempts to give one viewpoint to what is called the metaphysics of
presence and to its deconstruction. On which grounds may one say that art is not reducible to
philosophy? These topics are examined by highlighting the differentiation between the notions
of presentation and representation with regard to the influence of Martin Heidegger and Jacques
Derrida on Nancy's thought.
