Description
Thinking the Event by François Raffoul This philosophical inquiry explores what constitutes an event as event, its very eventfulness. Raffoul examines how the event breaks the demands of rational thought and exceeds causality, subjectivity, and reason. The notion of the event is central to this work, which draws on insights from key philosophers such as Heidegger, Derrida, Nancy, and Marion. The book's final movement addresses questions about the inappropriability of the event and its implications for ethical and political considerations. In an unprecedented way, the concept of the event comes to the fore in this work, with significant implications for philosophy, ontology, ethics, and theories of selfhood.
