How knowledge about an unexpected event is possible ?
Wittgenstein says that "the world is the totality of facts, not of things" (Tractatus). He opposes a fact to thing for the reason that since a thing exists "in itself" a fact can not be distinguished from the a priori "logical form" (using Wittgenstein’s term) in which it is given. Thus a fact always refers to its a priori conditions.
The problem is that the concept of identity applicable to fact appears to be inapplicable to event. However, it appears possible to approach an identity of event with the structure of movement or change. Event is always a question of time and therefore a problem of changing.
