It is that "pure event," each time happening outside or without reason, which remains to be thought, and which is the focus of this work.

In the wake of the exhaustion of traditional metaphysics, the notion of the event comes to the fore in an unprecedented way, with key implications for philosophy, ontology, ethics, and theories of selfhood. (amazon)
