Review Quotes: Through a division of philosophical labor, analytic philosophers have focused on everyday events, continental philosophers on once-in-a-blue-moon events as well as events that involve being as well as beings. Classifying these as ordinary, extraordinary, and ontological events, the papers in this collection raise fascinating questions about their individual natures and interrelationships.--Andrew Cutrofello, Loyola University Chicago
