The Event (Studies in Continental Thought) by Martin Heidegger (EPUB)

Description

Martin Heidegger’s The Event offers his most substantial self-critique of his Contributions to Philosophy: Of the Event and articulates what he means by the event itself. Richard Rojcewicz’s elegant translation offers the English-speaking reader intimate contact with one of the most basic Heideggerian concepts. This book lays out how the event is to be understood and ties it closely to looking, showing, self-manifestation, and the self-unveiling of the gods. The Event (Complete Works, volume 71) is part of a series of Heidegger’s private writings in response to Contributions.

User’s Reviews

Editorial Reviews: Review What is most remarkable about Richard Rojcewicz’s translation is its timeliness. . . . As a translation, the volume is better than fine and it has no doubt benefitted from Rojcewicz and Vallega-Neu’s translation of Beiträge zur Philosophie (Vom Ereignis). ― Continental Philosophy ReviewThe Event takes the reader who is willing to follow the intricacies of Heidegger’s text, into dark and impenetrable dimensions of thought and experience at the limits of language and intelligibility. ― Review of Metaphysics Review Heidegger is struggling to articulate his thinking, and many sections in this work are illuminating to some of his most difficult discussions in the Contributions and his thinking about Greek metaphysics, language, and poetry and philosophy. — Phillip Braunstein About the Author Richard Rojcewicz is Scholar-in-Residence in the Philosophy Department at Duquesne University. He is author of The Gods and Technology: A Reading of Heidegger and translator of several volumes of Heidegger’s Complete Works, including Basic Concepts of Ancient Philosophy (IUP, 2008) and (with Daniela Vallega-Neu) Contributions to Philosophy: Of the Event (IUP, 2012).

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐Very deep, very hard and yet profoundly valuable. I’d recommend you warm up by studying “Being and Time”, or at least “The History of the Concept of Time”. If not, you probably won’t have a clue about what he’s actually talking about, and it will seem like so much inaccessible mystical gobbledygook.

⭐Thank you!!

⭐This new translation is a beautiful and accurate rendering of Heidegger’s text. It’s fantastic that this new translation is already available as an e-book! However, Amazon’s lack of retaining original page numbers makes their e-versions of texts absolutely useless for academic work. As a college professor, I allow students to purchase e-books of the texts, but I cannot accept them handing in papers with citations stating “Kindle Location 1321”! Moreover, I cannot use these editions for my own scholarly work. When will Amazon figure out that Kindle needs to be friendlier to academic purposes, given that academics represent such a large proportion of those purchasing texts??

⭐Ad astra per aspera. . . or ta kala kalapa– “beautiful things are difficult.” You will have to work very hard to get something from this book and it does require some previous years of asking the question “what does it mean to be.” In the end, if you are unrelenting in your practice, which is a kind of meditative practice, the book may open realms for you that might be decisive for the kind of life you live.
