The first published work to explore the new philosophy of
speculative realism through a fresh reappropriation of the
philosophical tradition and an openness to its outside. The first
published work to explore the new philosophical field of
speculative realism, the second volume of Collapse features a
selection of speculative essays by some of the foremost young
philosophers at work today, together with new work from artists and
filmmakers, and searching interviews with leading scientists.
Comprising subjects from probability theory to theology, from
quantum theory to neuroscience, from astrophysics to necrology, it
involves them in unforeseen and productive syntheses. Against the
tide of institutional balkanisation and specialisation, this volume
testifies to a defiant reanimation of the most radical
philosophical problematics-the status of the scientific object,
metaphysics and its "end," the prospects for a revival of
speculative realism, the possibility of phenomenology,
transcendence and the divine, the nature of causation, the
necessity of contingency-both through a fresh reappropriation of
the philosophical tradition and through an openness to its outside.
The breadth of philosophical thought in this volume is matched by
the surprising and revealing thematic connections that emerge
between the philosophers and scientists who have contributed.
