Abstract
Although the event is the phenomenon par excellence, it did not become a central theme of phenomenology until it was addressed in the work of Henri Maldiney, who tried to complete Heidegger's analytic of existence (Dasein) during an investigation of the "pathological moment" of existence. The article consistently and critically attempts to present both this project of Maldiney's and the work, subsequent to it, of the contemporary author Claude Romano, who in his "evential hermeneutic" further develops Maldiney's position.
The main intention of the article, however, is to suggest a further possible direction of the systematic investigation of the event in phenomenology, and therefore, in its conclusion, it shows why Romano does not sufficiently develop Maldiney's position.
