Event

Article Abstract:

An event, as a philosophical concept, exists in relation to a specific set of problems, including the problem of how to conceive of modes of individuation that pertain not to being, or to essences and representation, but to becoming and effectivity. The concept of the event brings with it implications for the relation between language and the world, conceptions of substance and materiality, and ethics.
