Böcker av Claude Romano

The book critically analyzes the subjectivization of time in traditional metaphysics (Plato, Aristotle, Augustine), as well as more recent thought (Bergson, Husserl, Heidegger), and argues that, instead, the guiding thread for the analysis of time ought to be the evential hermeneutics of the human being, developed first in Event and World and deepened and completed here.

Calls for a reformulation of the phenomenological project. Claude Romano contends that the main concern of phenomenology, and its originality with respect to other philosophical movements of the last century, such as logical empiricism, the grammatical philosophy of Wittgenstein, and varieties of neo-Kantianism, was to provide a "new image of Reason".

The world into which we are born as the horizon of all our behavior is a world both of things and of events. But what are events? Though familiar to all of us, they are philosophically obscure. This title seeks to change that, to describe what sort of phenomenon an event is and to establish how it can be grasped via a phenomenology.
