Speculative Realism Made Simple: Objects, Reality, and the World Outside Us - Brossura
Libro 6 di 7: Philosophy Without Footnotes: Reality & Existence
Sinossi
Speculative realism begins with a simple, offensive idea: reality does not exist merely as something for humans to experience, interpret, use, fear, admire, or turn into a conference panel.
For centuries, philosophy has often treated the human-world relationship as the main event. What can we know? How do things appear to us? How does the mind shape experience? All very respectable questions, naturally. But what about the world that existed before humans arrived? What about objects that exceed our uses of them? What about fossils, stars, bacteria, machines, oceans, algorithms, climate systems, and all the other nonhuman things that continue behaving as if they were not waiting for our permission?
This book introduces speculative realism in clear, accessible language, without requiring the reader to have spent ten years trapped in a philosophy department. It explains the central ideas behind Quentin Meillassoux, Graham Harman, Ray Brassier, and Iain Hamilton Grant, along with related movements such as object-oriented ontology, new materialism, actor-network theory, and ecological thought.
Along the way, it discusses correlationism, the thing-in-itself, ancestrality, contingency, withdrawn objects, vicarious causation, nihilism, scientific realism, extinction, nature, technology, and the difference between what is real and what is merely known. It also spends a suspicious amount of time worrying about tables, because philosophy has never met furniture it could leave alone.
Written for curious readers rather than specialists, Speculative Realism Made Simple: Objects, Reality, and the World Outside Us is a dry, sharp, and readable guide to one of the most provocative turns in contemporary philosophy.
