| Long abstract | The views associated with the title “speculative realism” are often coordinated with a so-called “ontological turn” that is said to have taken place in recent Continental philosophy.1 Yet it is rather unclear what exactly such a turn is supposed to entail. If, as Meillassoux argues, it is Kant’s name that sets the horizon for the anti-realist denouement that presumably characterizes both correlationism and idealism, then something like the overcoming of the critical turn in philosophy would seem to be centrally at stake.2 The turn towards ontology pro-posed by the new realists would then be the obverse of a turning away from Kantian epistemology and its implications. And, yet again, there are at least two historical vectors which we can intuitively link to an “ontological turn,” conceived as the overcoming of the critical paradigm. |
