Brill Event and Subjectivity: Claude Romano and Jean-Luc Marion

Explore a deep phenomenological analysis of the event in contemporary philosophy with Event and Subjectivity. This scholarly work examines the contributions of Claude Romano and Jean-Luc Marion to understand how the concept of the event functions within modern thought. While the event remains a major topic in contemporary philosophy, this book addresses why its importance has not been fully recognized within the phenomenological movement. The text begins by investigating why the event lacks a proper place in the transcendental phenomenology of Husserl and the existential phenomenology of Heidegger. By looking at the work of Romano and Marion, the book proposes a new phenomenological version of the event. This approach seeks to transform traditional definitions of phenomenon, subjectivity, and phenomenology itself. It is an essential resource for students and researchers interested in Western philosophy and the evolution of phenomenological theory.
