The question of humanness requires a philosophical anthropology and
we need a revision of what philosophical anthropology means in
light of contemporary efforts in speculative realism and
object-oriented ontology. This is the main claim of the book which
expands into the smaller supporting claims that 1) contemporary
work in speculative realism indicates that Heidegger's analytic of
Dasein needs to be rethought in consideration of certain Kantian
values 2) recent philosophical anthropology offers an incomplete
look at the central concern of philosophical anthropology, namely,
the question of humanness 3) current ontological models do not
account adequately for humanness, because they do not begin with
humanness. From these considerations, a new ontological model
better suited to account for humanness is proposed, spectral
ontology. Under spectral ontology, Being is treated as a spectrum
consisting of beings, nonbeings, and hyperbeings. Nonbeings, or
nonrelational entities, and hyper-beings, are spectral insofar as
they are like a specter which haunts the being that manifests in
the world. Thus, spectral in this sense refers to both the
nonrelational status of nonbeings and to an ontology which reflects
such a spectrum of Being.
