Event. A Philosophical Journey Through the Concept.

The series «Figures of Philosophy» is a library of intellectual literature, featuring the most significant thinkers of the 20th-21st centuries who have had a colossal influence on various discourses of modernity. The books in the series provide a way to... navigate and orient oneself in the current intellectual space.
The incomparable Slavoj Žižek takes the reader on an exciting journey through the Event - one of the central concepts of contemporary philosophy. This book by Žižek, as always, is filled with various cultural references, including modern cinema, dazzles with trademark anecdotes that hover on - or cross - the boundary of decency, is immersed in a historical-philosophical context, and - despite its easy presentation - is profound and insightful.
