Changes

An event can be an occurrence that shatters ordinary [[life]], a radical [[political ]] rupture, a transformation of [[reality]], a [[religious ]] [[belief]], the rise of a new art [[form]], or an intense [[experience ]] such as falling in [[love]].

Taking us on a trip that stops at different definitions of event, Žižek addresses fundamental questions such as: are all things connected? How much are we agents of our own fates? Which [[conditions ]] must be met for us to perceive something as really existing? In a [[world ]] that’s constantly changing, is anything new really happening? Drawing on references from [[Plato ]] to arthouse [[cinema]], the Big Bang to [[Buddhism]], Event is a journey into [[philosophy ]] at its most exciting and elementary.
