Klappentext 'How refreshing to read a volume that seeks to bring opposing philosophies into dialogue without the usual tribalism and self-justification. 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 UniversityCritical essays challenging speculative realism from a variety of perspectivesA 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.Marie-Eve Morin is Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of Alberta, CanadaCover image: Felslandschaft (mit Palmen und Tannen, Paul Klee, 1919 © akg-imagesCover design:[EUP logo]edinburghuniversitypress.comISBN 978-1-4744-2114-0Barcode Zusammenfassung Taking the challenge of speculative realism seriously!
