Intoxication (Idiom: Inventing Writing Theory) - 9780823267729

Philosophy holds an ambivalent relation to the pleasures of intoxication, this excess that both fascinates and questions philosophy's sober ambitions for conceptual clarity and appropriate behavior. Displacing established dualities--mind and body, reason and desire, logic and eros--Nancy's subject becomes intoxicated: Ego sum, ego existo ebrius--I am, I exist--drunk.
