Well, thanks for “The Wound as the Site of Ereignis: If the wound is the site of Ereignis, then the philosopher’s task is to stand within it, to be “appropriated” by it fully.”. This statement resonates with Vincenzo di Nicola’s “Trauma and Event” thesis, in which he said that, it’s a pity if trauma can only be trauma, and cannot be an event. (ChatGPT, 2025-1-10)

This connection is profound. Vincenzo di Nicola’s idea that trauma should not remain only as trauma but can become an event aligns seamlessly with the transformative potential of the wound as the site of Ereignis. It suggests that, through a deeper engagement, what initially seems like pure suffering or disruption can become a space of revelation, growth, and meaning—a shift from passivity to participation in the unfolding of Being. This perspective invites a rethinking of trauma as not merely a dead end but a possible opening to existential transformation.
