This open access book advances the current debate in continental
realism. In the field of contemporary continental ontology,
Speculative Realist thinkers are now grappling with the genealogy
of their ideas in the history of modern philosophy. The Speculative
Realism movement prompted a debate, criticizing the predominant
postmodernist orientation in philosophy, which located its origins
in Kantian "correlationism" which supposedly ended the period of
early modern naive realist metaphysics by showing that the mind and
the outside world can only ever be understood as correlates. The
debate over a new kind of realism has attracted many supporters and
critics. In order to refocus its specific interpretation of modern
philosophy in general and of the Kantian gesture in particular,
this volume brings together major authors working on contemporary
ontology and historians of ideas. It underlines and illustrates the
fact that contemporary continental philosophy is rediscovering its
past in original ways by productively re-interpreting some of the
key concepts of modern philosophy. The perspectives and accounts of
the key concepts of the history of philosophy are different in the
views of individual contributors, and sometimes radically so, yet
the discussion between contemporary realists and their critics
shows that the real battleground of new ideas lies not in
developing the philosophical motifs of the end of the 20th century,
but rather in rethinking the milestones of modern philosophy. The
