| Long abstract | In many ways, the rise of Speculative Realism has been one of the most promising developments in contemporary continental philosophy. It has brought to the fore many concerns—above all the philosophy of science—that have been neglected by Anglophone continentalists, and it has introduced the English-speaking world to a range of new or previously neglected thinkers (such as Quentin Meillassoux and François Laruelle, respectively). In a field that has always had a tendency toward commentary, the movement has also emboldened Anglophone continentalists to begin writing “primary sources,” developing their own concepts and systems. The excitement surrounding these new developments has been so great that John D. Caputo, a dyed-in-the-wool Derridean, went so far as to devote his final graduate seminar to thinkers associated with this new push toward realism. |
