Excerpt | Jean-Luc Nancy reconceived the state of meaning in our world as a ‘flight of sense,’ where the meanings ebbed away from the cracks of this vessel of world. In the face of this looming absencing of sense, philosophy is required to reposition itself to deal with thinking about sense. His words find uncanny relevance in our post-COVID scenario: “[…] the destitution of the authority of sense or of sense as authority, and the entry into the unheard-of. For the unheard-of, one has to get one’s ears ready. All of this has just barely begun […]” (109). Today, we are in the middle of “unheard-of” times, exposed to realities that have jeopardized the tapestry of our lives. Movement as such is closed; aporia has opened.
Key words | Meaning, Aporia, Sense-Making, Home, Unhomeliness, Uncanny
