![THE heart may be deceitful above all things, but sometimes it can tell a truth hidden to the mind — as in a slim book published in 2000 by French political philosopher Jean-Luc Nancy. The text, titled "The Intruder," was a meditation occasioned by the heart transplant the author received in the late '80s, and the complications that arose when his immune system stubbornly rejected this life-saving intrusion. His sickness enabled him to describe with clarity the painful changes that come when the heart — physical or metaphorical — breaks and must be discarded if life is to carry on.](http://www.calendarlive.com/media/thumbnails/story/2006-03/22470113.jpg "THE heart may be deceitful above all things, but sometimes it can tell a truth hidden to the mind — as in a slim book published in 2000 by French political philosopher Jean-Luc Nancy.
