Introducing Ereignis: philosophy, technology, way of life

This book introduces Ereignis as a philosophical concept, as a technology, and as a way of life. In addition to an introduction to the concept written in a non-specialist language, you will find a previously unpublished interview with Wolfgang Schirmacher, and a glossary of key terms. The text is interlaced with award-winning director Stefan Chazbijewicz’s photographic impressions of Warsaw.
Ereignis is a German word which can mean just a happening, just an event, just taking the train to go to Berlin. But it can also mean something quite different: a happening which defines who you are, an Ereignis, an event, which brings you into your own. Wolfgang Schirmacher
