Abstract
“Event”, as a mainstream in contemporary philosophy, remains its hot status in various research areas. Since it has experienced a “linguistic turn” in philosophy, this paper mainly discusses the philosophical development of event ontology, event semantic, event relation and event process from some representative philosophers. The research results indicate that events gradually gained their historical status in relation to substance, and they can be described in a more dynamic and hierarchical way. Furthermore, this paper can also provide philosophical support to the study of corresponding concepts of time and space in literature, nouns and verbs in linguistics.

“Event”, as a mainstream in contemporary philosophy, remains its hot status in various research areas. Since it has experienced a “linguistic turn” in philosophy, this paper mainly discusses the philosophical development of event ontology, event semantic, event relation and event process from some representative philosophers
With the purpose to provide some philosophical insights of events to its literature and language study in specificity, this paper selects some influential philosophers and their general ideas of event ontology, event semantics, event relation and event process as well in the following four sections, and the last section mainly summarizes the conclusions of this paper
We find that Whitehead’s ontology of the event process can be the most appropriate philosophical background to reveal the essence of event relations
Summary
“Event” is a common topic in philosophy, literature, psychology, linguistics, and other fields. The philosophy of event is not new during the long history of human beings from the Ancient Greek, Aristotle, to contemporary thinkers such as Whitehead, Russell, Broad and Quine, the list has had a considerable following. In philosophy, are construed as the changes in the form of obtaining or losing the properties of objects. Figuring out different developing stages of event study in philosophy cannot only benefit its ontological research diachronically, and pave the way for its application in inter-dis-. With the purpose to provide some philosophical insights of events to its literature and language study in specificity, this paper selects some influential philosophers and their general ideas of event ontology, event semantics, event relation and event process as well in the following four sections, and the last section mainly summarizes the conclusions of this paper
