So far, there are three ideas in the study of post theory. These three existing ideas are enlightening to a certain extent, but the common shortcomings are also obvious. They all put the vision of the post theory in the Anglo-American scope, that is, they directly give the Anglo-American position to the theory, but do not aim at the European continent from the internal academic road, which is the center of the theoretical culture. This does not really prove where the theory needs to be improved. The intention of this paper is to overcome this existing limitation and try to put forward a new way of thinking, that is, the philosophy of event is used to connect and activate the post theory. In Europe, the philosophy of event is mainly manifested as a rebellion against the mainstream linguistic theory represented by Saussure. Therefore, when the Anglo-American scholars in the same period began to pay attention to “after theory”, because theory is based on the mainstream linguistic theory, post theory which is mainly popular in the Anglo-American academic circles naturally introduces the philosophy of event as a further promotion. This also makes the post theoretical research go beyond the Anglo-American paradigm which is slowly falling into a certain bottleneck, and get involved in the European dynamics, obtaining the internal intermediary and new growing point. This constitutes a new train of thought of the research of post theory.
