Speculative realism is one of the most talked-about movements in
recent Continental philosophy. It has been discussed widely amongst
the younger generation of Continental philosophers seeking new
philosophical approaches and promises to form the cornerstone of
future debates in the field. This book introduces the contexts out
of which speculative realism has emerged and provides an overview
of the major contributors and latest developments. It guides the
reader through the important questions asked by realism (what can I
know? what is reality?), examining philosophy's perennial questions
in new ways. The book begins with the speculative realist's
critique of 'correlationism', the view that we can never reach what
is real beneath our language systems, our means for perception, or
our finite manner of being-in-the-world. It goes on to critically
review the work of the movement's most important thinkers,
including Quentin Meillassoux, Ray Brassier, and Graham Harman, but
also other important writers such as Jane Bennett and Catherine
Malabou whose writings delineate alternative approaches to the
real. It interrogates the crucial questions these thinkers have
raised and concludes with a look toward the future of speculative
realism, especially as it relates to the reality of time.
