Reflecting on catastrophe does not mean considering an isolated event, but rather confronting a limit within thought itself. Catastrophe is not simply a deviation from the ordinary course of things; it is the exposure of the instability of what is usually seen as ‘ordinary’. In this sense, catastrophe is not merely one event among others, but rather a revelation that being itself is precarious, contingent, and never fully self-grounded. Catastrophe is an interruption that exposes the constructedness of the world, sense, and form. Therefore, it pertains only to those forms of life that are caught within structures such as form and stability — in other words, all forms of life, each in its own way. Catastrophe questions the tacit assumptions underlying human existence, exposing their fragility.
