Adrian Johnston's "Prolegomena to Any Future Materialism,
"planned for three volumes, will lay the foundations for a new
materialist theoretical apparatus, his "transcendental
materialism." In this first volume, Johnston clears an opening
within contemporary philosophy and theory for his unique position.
He engages closely with Lacan, Badiou, and Meillassoux,
demonstrating how each of these philosophers can be seen as failing
to forge an authentically atheistic materialism. Johnston builds a
new materialism both profoundly influenced by these brilliant
comrades of a shared cause as well as making up for the
shortcomings of their own creative attempts to bring to realization
the Lacanian vision of an Other-less, One-less ontology. "The
Outcome of Contemporary French Philosophy" yields intellectual
weapons suitable for deployment on multiple fronts simultaneously,
effective against the mutually entangled spiritualist and
scientistic foes of our post-Enlightenment, biopolitical era of
nothing more than commodities and currencies.
