(P/B) EVENT

Παρουσίαση

What is really happening when something happens?
Which conditions must be met for us to perceive something as really existing?
In a world that's constantly changing, is anything new actually happening?
Slavoj Zizek, one of the world's greatest living philosophers, examines the new and highly contested concept of Event. An Event can be an occurrence that shatters ordinary life, a radical political rupture, the emergence of a religious belief, the rise of a new art form, or an intense experience such as falling in love.
After an Event, nothing remains the same.
Drawing on references from Plato to arthouse cinema, the Big Bang to Buddhism, Event is a journey into philosophy at its most exciting and elementary. (From the publisher)
