Abstract

The paper presents and characterizes, at its most outstanding aspects, one of the most important conceptual creations of the French philosopher Gilles Deleuze: the Event. Such presentation takes place from a wider problematic context: the crisis of the substantialist and identitarian metaphysical thought and the appearance of a new metaphysical thought linked to the philosophy of the event. Finally, the metaphysics of the event brings into a breakdown, ending up in an overlook of the concept of culture and its consequences. The contents of Metaphysics, event and Culture are based and discussed thanks to two other philosophers: Michel Foucault and Jürgen Habermas.
