«Au ciel et sur la terre» is the philosophical essay by Jean-Luc Nancy, published by Bayard in paperback (68 pages, in French).
Starting from the everyday sky —planes, clouds, sun and stars—, Jean-Luc Nancy raises the question of God and the mystery of existence. This short lecture reflects on how to speak of the invisible, why images of the divine have been so diverse, and what it means that for some the sky is empty.
It originally appeared on September 16, 2004; the subtitle on the cover is « Petite conférence sur Dieu ».
For readers interested in philosophy and religion who want a brief reflection on the mystery of existence.
Jean-Luc Nancy was a French philosopher. Nancy's first book, published in 1973, was Le titre de la lettre, a reading of the work of French psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan, written in collaboration with Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe. Nancy is the author of works on many thinkers, including La remarque spéculative in 1973 on Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, Le Discours de la syncope (1976) and L'Impératif catégorique (1983) on Immanuel Kant, Ego sum (1979) on René Descartes, and Le Partage des voix (1982) on Martin Heidegger.
