Reviews"The unexpected death of the French philosopher Bernard Stiegler is a terrible loss for those who try to "think-heal" (penser/panser) the world of global catastrophes in which we must now live and die. He was a man of extraordinary elegance, intelligence, sociability. In this rich collection, his friends compose his portrait and display the complexity as well as the insights of his thought. This is an excellent introduction to a considerable work." - Etienne Balibar, Anniversary Chair of Modern European Philosophy, Kingston University London, UK "Along with leading academics and critical minds of indisputable acuity, Nancy probes the melancholic imperative of letting go of valued friendship within the crucial motif of a broken community. He is recognized here for his monumental work, which has helped to contour determining flashpoints of thought, just action, unforeseen mappings, modalities of care and social viability." - Avital Ronell, University Professor of the Humanities, New York University, USA "Jean-Luc Nancy's On Bernard Stielger comprises a series of essays that provide a fitting memorial to Stiegler's philosophy and demonstrate the continued relevance of his work to thinking about the evolving relationship between humanity and technology. The contributions are, without exception, beautifully written, economical, and provocative." - Ross Abbinnett, Senior Lecturer in Sociology, University of Birmingham, UK, The unexpected death of the French philosopher Bernard Stiegler is a terrible loss for those who try to "think-heal" (penser/panser) the world of global catastrophes in which we must now live and die. He was a man of extraordinary elegance, intelligence, sociability. In this rich collection, his friends compose his portrait and display the complexity as well as the insights of his thought.

Synopsis"What I love, and those whom I love, you, that is to say us in so far as we are capable of forming a we , all this I love, and I love them, and I love you infinitely" (Bernard Steigler April 1952- August 2020). When Bernard Stiegler writes "I love you" in the quote above, he openly provokes us to question or experience the meaning or contact of these words. He also invites us to question the relationship between a thinker's life and their thought. For Stiegler, they were inextricable. His life was one that focused on friendship but not friendships at a purely social level but ones that produced philosophy, politics, and existential truths. Bringing together scholars who knew Stiegler, including Shaj Mohan, Achille Mbembe, Divya Dwivedi, Peter Szendy, and Emily Apter, this volume provides an original - and personal - insight into his life and philosophy. Each piece gives a sense of the wide range of Stiegler's work and how it affected the praxis of the philosopher in different parts of the world.
