By all means read this book for its penetrating and exceptionally wide-ranging critique of Speculative Realism, but savour it also as that rarest of dishes: genuine philosophical encounter.' Christopher Watkin, Monash University Critical essays challenging speculative realism from a variety of perspectives A new realist movement in continental philosophy has emerged to challenge philosophical approaches and traditions, ranging from German idealism to phenomenology and deconstruction, for supposedly failing to do justice to the real world. Taking seriously this realist challenge, the contributors to this volume nevertheless refuse to let the philosophical contributions of Kant, Schelling, Merleau-Ponty, Derrida and Nancy be discarded without closer scrutiny. Instead, they turn to these thinkers in order to meet the challenge of realism in contemporary philosophy.
