The Event cover

Heidegger's most intensely focused writing on the event

Offers the English-speaking reader intimate contact with one of the most basic Heideggerian concepts

Martin Heidegger's The Event offers his most substantial self-critique of his Contributions to Philosophy:Of the Event and articulates what he means by the event itself. Richard Rojcewicz's elegant translation offers the English-speaking reader intimate contact with one of the most basic Heideggerian concepts. This book lays out how the event is to be understood and ties it closely to looking, showing, self-manifestation, and the self-unveiling of the gods. The Event (Complete Works, volume 71) is part of a series of Heidegger's private writings in response to Contributions.

What is most remarkable about Richard Rojcewicz's translation is its timeliness. . . . As a translation, the volume is better than fine and it has no doubt benefitted from Rojcewicz and Vallega-Neu's translation of Beiträge zur Philosophie (Vom Ereignis).

* Continental Philosophy Review *

The Event takes the reader who is willing to follow the intricacies of Heidegger's text, into dark and impenetrable dimensions of thought and experience at the limits of language and intelligibility.

* Review of Metaphysi
