The final sentence in this section reads: "However, one can argue that the warming of the ball and the rotation are possibly temporally separated and are therefore separate events." --Should this not be spatially separated? The heating and rotation are occurring at precisely the same moment, however the heating and rotation affect different spatial properties of the ball.

I'm speaking only from a logical point of view--I have never heard this discussed before.

I suppose it really comes down to what is spatial, and in fact we can easily argue that temperature and angle (or position) of the ball are two different properties, thus an event would the a change in a particular property at a particular moment in time, as caused by some stimulus.Logan1337 (talk) 00:38, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why isn't Deleuze mentioned? He dedicates an entire book -- The Logic of Sense -- to developing a notion of the event. --Le vin blanc (talk) 15:41, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the tip. Event is central to several readings of Deleuze. An article section has been started.Rgdboer (talk) 03:48, 26 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
