Abstract

In ‘Euryopa: le regard au loin’, a short and dense text written in 1994, Jean-Luc Nancy approaches the philosophical question of Europe by way of an investigation of Europe’s vision, look, glance, seeing (regard).¹ Europe, Nancy writes, ‘is the particular way of looking whose singular sighting [visée] is the universal as such’ (EU, 8). His concern, throughout the essay, is with Europe as ‘an idea of a vision’: with the particular way of looking that this idea implies, with this vision’s limits, as well as with the limits of vision itself.
