Bloomington, Indiana: Indiana University Press, 2013, 1st printing number line starting with 1, , . Series: Studies in continental thought "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.
