Nothing is more simple or more complicated than the event. In recent years, the attack on any attempts to provide a foundation for philosophy has focused on the "logic of the event." InThe Plural Event, Andrew Benjamin reconsiders and reworks philosophy in terms of events and how they are judged. Benjamin offers a sustained philosophical reworking of ontology, providing important readings of key canonical texts in the history of philosophy. In order to avoid the charge of positivism, he provides a cogent interpretation of the process of thinking through while allowing the process to reveal itself in the interpretation of central philosophical texts. The effective presence of ontology, defined as "anoriginal difference," will be familiar to readers of his earlier writings.The Plural Eventrepresents Andrew Benjamin's most thorough and original contribution to contemporary philosophy.

Industry Reviews

"In a set of illuminating and provocative readings of Descartes, Hegel, and Heidegger, Benjamin demonstrates that to think philosophically means to "rework philosophy, to deploy it anew, each time as if for the first time, in the abeyance of tradition. Through multifaceted and profound analyses, this book explores the ontological and temporal consequences of such an approach to thinking for philosophy, and seeks to reconceive it in terms of singularity and an ontology of the event." -Rodolphe Gasche, State University of New York, Buffalo
