Synopsis

These writings chart Harman's rise from Chicago sportswriter to co-founder of one of Europe's most promising philosophical movements: Speculative Realism. This fascinating collection of eleven essays and lectures from 1997 to 2009, anchored by Harman's rebellious transformation of Heideggerian philosophy, shows the evolution of his object-oriented metaphysics from its early days into an increasingly developed philosophical position

With grace, wit, and a remarkable inventiveness Harman invites us to return to basic philosophical questions. Whether or not one agrees with Harman's conclusions his work will be an inspiration for many. Martin Hagglund, Harvard University, author of Radical Atheism

must read for scholars interested in metaphysics, philosophy or science studies: Myra Hird, Queen's University, Canada, author of The Origins of Sociable Life
