Description
THE EVENT, DIFFERENCE, AND THE "BETWEEN"
Book Summary
This work offers a rigorous analysis of the philosophies of Heidegger, Nietzsche, and Deleuze regarding the notions of difference and event. The author dismantles the hegemonic structures of thought which, according to his thesis, hinder an authentic understanding of reality as they have established themselves as tools of domination. In contrast, he explores how these three contemporary philosophers propose alternative paths for thought, anchored in the concepts of event, difference, and the "between," opening new possibilities for doing philosophy.
What is it about?
The book begins with a critique of prevailing forms of thought, which the author considers to be structures of domination that prevent us from thinking about reality in its complexity. Next, it delves into the proposals of three key figures of contemporary philosophy: Heidegger, Nietzsche, and Deleuze. Through their respective philosophies, the notions of difference and event are examined as tools to disrupt these hegemonic structures. The work concludes by showing how these thinkers develop alternative ways of doing philosophy, centered on the "between" as a space of possibility and transformation.
