Several debates of the last years within the research field of
contemporary realism - known under titles such as "New Realism,"
"Continental Realism," or "Speculative Materialism" - have shown
that science is not systematically the ultimate measure of truth
and reality. This does not mean that we should abandon the notions
of truth or objectivity all together, as has been posited
repeatedly within certain currents of twentieth century philosophy.
However, within the research field of contemporary realism, the
concept of objectivity itself has not been adequately refined. What
is objective is supposed to be true outside a subject's biases,
interpretations and opinions, having truth conditions that are met
by the way the world is. The volume combines articles of
internationally outstanding authors who have published on either
Idealism, Epistemic Relativism, or Realism and often locate
themselves within one of these divergent schools of thought. As
such, the volume focuses on these traditions with the aim of
clarifying what the concept objectivity nowadays stands for within
contemporary ontology and epistemology beyond the
analytic-continental divide. With articles from: Jocelyn Benoist,
Ray Brassier, G. Anthony Bruno, Dominik Finkelde, Markus Gabriel,
Deborah Goldgaber, Iain Hamilton Grant, Graham Harman, Johannes
Hubner, Andrea Kern, Anton F. Koch, Martin Kusch, Paul M.
Livingston, Paul Redding, Sebastian Roedl, Dieter Sturma.
