I have
just reviewed Claudo Romano's There Is: The Event and the Finitude of Appearing for
Phenomenological Reviews. This was an engaging read and encounter with this
rigorous exploration of phenomenology. Romano is really insightful in his
commitment to phenomenology and resolute in seeking to find answers here to
contemporary problems. Rather than a turn to the pre-critical era of philosophy or to natural science we find a thorough engagement with
phenomenology that reveals its vital and living core. In addition, some original sources outside of
this tradition are invoked to shake up and revitalise phenomenology. The contemporary relevance of this human
science is at stake.
