ISBN: 9781612194110.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the most famous living philosophers provides a philosophical analysis of the meaning of events in this “deeply interesting and provocative” book (The Guardian)\n\nAn event can be an occurrence that shatters ordinary life, a radical political rupture, a transformation of reality, a religious belief, the rise of a new art form, or an intense experience such as falling in love.\n\nTaking us on a trip that stops at different definitions of event, Žižek addresses fundamental questions such as: are all things connected? How much are we agents of our own fates? Which conditions must be met for us to perceive something as really existing? In a world that’s constantly changing, is anything new really happening? 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Melville House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44886619783221,"sku":"ByrdShop_1612194117","price":62.52,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/ByrdShop_1612194117_336a23db-eff8-42c5-b387-1d17b81108d0.jpg?v=1784317236","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/event-a-philosophical-journey-through-a-concept-9781612194110","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
