Subsequently, the new realism that emerges from deconstruction holds the possibility of an event that problematizes all attempts to objectify the thing. An illuminating analysis of Derrida and phenomenology, \u003ci\u003eThe Event of the Thing\u003c\/i\u003e is an innovative and compelling study of a crucial aspect of one of the twentieth century's greatest thinkers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Marder\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1442612657\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781442612655\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/19\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 186\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 5.90w x 0.60d","brand":"Michael Marder","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44072964096255,"sku":"9781442612655","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e84452d9-eca9-45ba-adec-6027546f8152.jpg?v=1685444988","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-event-of-the-thing-michael-marder-9781442612655","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
