There is something different about Nancy's style in this note. The apparent linear directness of the first two pages meant that I didn't experience the ebb and cascade of sense that I've grown to associate with reading him. And then pg 95 did my head in. Thanks, I'll read through some of sense of the world tomorrow, it looks like politics i to the end of political writing might be helpful.

It is dense - though I'm trying to read it less so by reading it through other pieces of his I've read before - I'm thinking here of a couple of essays in <i>Sense of the World</i>. Maybe “War, Law, Sovereignty - Techne" (but I've just shifted around the bookshelves and can't locate it right now). Tangentially, or maybe not given the he did the Italian intro to <i>Being Singular Plural</i>, I wish someone would translate Esposito's <i>L'origine Della Politica: Hannah Arendt O Simone Weil</i>. I gather this, or perhaps it's another of his books, deals with 'world' at some length. Then, there's Heidegger, of course ... Thanks for this.
