## Description

What is really happening when something happens? Here, Slavoj Žižek, one of the world's greatest living philosophers, takes us on a trip which stops at different definitions of Event, and addresses fundamental questions such as: are all things connected? How much are we agents of our own fates? And 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.
