Hegel and Speculative Realism has two main objectives. Firstly, to
assess the speculative realist formulations of the real regarding
the ‘withdrawn’ object, radical contingency, the absolute
register of extinction, and the current interest in ‘powers
philosophy’, with special attention to their possible relation to
the absolute scope of Hegelian philosophy. Secondly, to invite the
reader to reconsider Hegel in a new way; uncovering rare insights
into his thoughts on astronomy, actuality, the concrete and
non-being. Johns’ inclination is to not mistake the necessary
path to the absolute as the only path. Johns argues that Hegel
describes the unique trajectory of the dialectical relationship
between Nature and Idea as a Spirit oriented by both logical and
physical (spatio-temporal) dimensions. Johns reads this as a theory
of singularity and makes the bold claim that there may be other
paths not taken by the Hegelian spatio-temporal path synonymous
with the dialectic; synthesis, sublation and unfolding. In-fact,
speculative philosophy should not be satisfied to study only
“what exists” but also what “could exist” or what it means
to “inexist” and should entertain multiple modes of potential
becoming between Hegel’s initial triad of logical categories;
Being, Non-Being and Becoming.
