Continental philosophy has entered a new period of ferment. The
long deconstructionist era was followed with a period dominated by
Deleuze, which has in turn evolved into a new situation still
difficult to define. However, one common thread running through the
new brand of continental positions is a renewed attention to
materialist and realist options in philosophy. Among the leaders of
the established generation, this new focus takes numerous forms. It
might be hard to find many shared positions in the writings of
Badiou, DeLanda, Laruelle, Latour, Stengers, and i ek, but what is
missing from their positions is an obsession with the critique of
written texts. All of them elaborate a positive ontology, despite
the incompatibility of their results. Meanwhile, the new generation
of continental thinkers is pushing these trends still further, as
seen in currents ranging from transcendental materialism to the
London-based speculative realism movement to new revivals of
Derrida. As indicated by the title The Speculative Turn, the new
currents of continental philosophy depart from the text-centered
hermeneutic models of the past and engage in daring speculations
about the nature of reality itself. This anthology assembles
authors, of several generations and numerous nationalities, who
will be at the centre of debate in continental philosophy for
decades to come.
