Instead, it is an attempt to show that <em>sense</em> plays a significant role in Nancy's understanding of singularity and finitude and therefore provide an insight into Nancy’s overall theory of being. My argument analyses <em>sense's</em> centrality to Nancy´s discussion on <em>touch</em> and the vital role <em>touch</em> has in the articulation between his comprehension of mitsein/etre-avec and his elaboration of being as singular plural.</p> ER -
