Sommario/riassunto

Grant Farred takes up the event as a philosophical problem from a novel perspective, examining infamous events in sport and arguing that theorizing the event through sport makes possible an entirely original way of thinking about it. He shows how what was inherent in the event



is opened to new possibilities for understanding ontological being by thinking about sport philosophically.
