Openness, Difference and Emptiness: the Three Dimension of Contemporary Western Writing Thought——Review of Qi Wang's Comprehensive Review of Contemporary Western Writing Theories Centering on Jean-Luc Nancy

Abstract

Since Derrida's "writing revolution", the writing thought has become an independent philosophical proposition, beginning to break free from its marginalized state. As a medium that can convey meaning and directly communicate with people and the world, writing has strong theoretical tension and reflective value. Systematic reflection on Western writing ideas is also an important dimension in constructing the discourse of current Chinese literary theory. Qi Wang's Comprehensive Review of Contemporary Western Writing Theories Centering on Jean-Luc Nancy revolves around Jean Luc Nancy's writing thought and engages in an interactive dialogue with contemporary Western theories. This dialogue constructs three dimensions of writing thought by sorting out the relationship between writing and meaning, body, art, and literature: openness, difference, and emptiness. These three dimensions generate and promote each other, jointly constructing the multiple facets of Nancy's writing thought.
