Notes

  1. Chapter Seven shows that the event for Nancy includes Nancy’s notion of touching.

  2. Derrida (1994, p. 63).

  3. In contrast, Jean Grondin argues that contemporary ontology’s interest with the event is a “replacement theology” for a secular, nominalist age (Grondin 2014, pp. 63–69).

  4. e.g. Marion (1991), Caputo (2006, 2013) and Crocket et al. (2014).

  5. Heidegger (2012, p. 23).

  6. Quoted from Agamben (1993, p. 32).
