The common feature of many present-day "new realisms" is a general
diagnosis according to which, with Kant, Western philosophy lost
any contact with the outside world. In The Untruth of Reality, Jure
Simoniti, in contrast, points out the necessary realist side of
modern philosophy, arguing that the possibility of realism has
always been there. The epistemological self-inauguration of the
subject goes hand in hand with his anthropological dethronement,
the god-like centrality of the "ego" is constantly counterbalanced
with his creatural marginality, the activity of the constitutive
subject is juxtaposed with the growing indifference of the world,
and the linguistic appropriation of the world simultaneously
performs operations of the de-symbolization of reality. However,
with these precarious equilibria, the conditions of possibility of
realism have become more complex and intricate. It is therefore the
goal of this book to demonstrate how the paradigms of consciousness
and language are not necessarily incompatible with realism, but
rather open new and broader possibilities for the world behind and
beyond consciousness and language to disclose itself. This book
will be of interest to graduate students and scholars in the fields
of German idealism, continental philosophy, philosophy of language,
and philosophy of science.
