Abstract

This text discuss the concept and the implications of the muses’ image in Jean-Luc Nancy’s philosophy, based, specially, in Les muses, a book published by him in 1994. This book is a collection of essays and conferences written or pronounced in different moments, in which the philosopher tries to articulate his conceptions of world and community with a way to think about language differently from the traditional philosophy (having to deal with its limits and with the occidental rationality’s limits, without the possibility of abolish them). It’s a discussion about the return of an image in the contemporaneity (the muse’s image), and about the theory that Nancy develops about the multiplicity of the arts, the aesthetics, the body and the idea of opening.
