Description: Reframes and advances our current philosophy of events, focusing on post-analytic-continental divide ontology and metaphysics.

He is a previous recipient of a Fulbright Postdoctoral Scholarship and a VolkswagenStiftung / Andrew W. Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowship.

Review Quotes: In the hands of Bahoh, Cassina, and Genovesi, this striking volume opens wide a new path for what is possible in contemporary philosophy. Offering a remarkable contribution to the theory of events, it shows that, if there ever was a single concept for upending the stale divide between Continentals and Analytics, 'event' is it.--Ryan J.
