This book introduces the underlying ideas which have created the constellation of thought commonly referred to as Speculative Realism (SR). In a non-technical style Speculative Realism: An Epitome explores the thought of three contemporary philosophers: Quentin Meillassoux, Ray Brassier, and Iain Hamilton Grant. The book characterizes the milieu in which SR was born and charts how the tendencies of thought created from its birth have diverged into contemporary metaphysics. Readers will gain from the book an understanding how the evolving motion of concepts created by the brief life of SR continue to change speculative philosophy in the contemporary Continental philosophical landscape today.

 

Contents: Introduction | Chapter I: Dead on Arrival | Chapter II: Heirs of Kantian Finitude | Chapter III: After Finitude | Chapter IV: After Nature | Interview with Ray Brassier | Interview with Iain Hamilton Grant
