“A genuinely innovative contribution to philosophical accounts of
subjectivity and temporality. Romano develops what he calls an
‘evential hermeneutics’ that takes as its starting point the
life-changing events that upend our world. He studies the structure
of these events in terms of the genuine change and novelty that
they open up, distinguishing them from mere occurrences, which can
be explained as a subject realizing pre-existing possibilities.
Because such events introduce radically new possibilities by
transforming me and my world, Romano argues that they must be
understood as establishing a world rather than as happening in the
world.”—Shane Mackinlay, Catholic Theological College,
University of Divinity, Melbourne
