Abstract

In this article, I put Nancy’s thinking in conversation with contemporary demands for a flat ontology. I show that Nancy does in fact propose an ontology that is flat and in that way undoes the priority of human experience as the producer of sense. At the same time, I show that Nancy avoids two pitfalls other flat ontologies often fall into: a formalism that forgets materiality and falls prey to general equivalence and a depoliticization that removes any agential role for human beings in the creation and destruction of the world.

我们时代的本体

摘要

在这篇文章中，我将 Nancy 的想法与当代对扁平本体的需求进行了对话。我表明南希实际上确实提出了一个扁平的本体论，并以这种方式取消了人类经验作为意义生产者的优先权。与此同时，我表明南希避免了其他扁平本体论经常陷入的两个陷阱：一种忘记物质性并成为一般对等的牺牲品的形式主义，以及一种消除人类在创造和毁灭世界中的任何代理角色的去政治化。
