About The Book

The first published work to explore the new philosophy of speculative realism through a fresh reappropriation of the philosophical tradition and an openness to its outside. The first published work to explore the new philosophical field of speculative realism the second volume of Collapse features a selection of speculative essays by some of the foremost young philosophers at work today together with new work from artists and filmmakers and searching interviews with leading scientists. Comprising subjects from probability theory to theology from quantum theory to neuroscience from astrophysics to necrology it involves them in unforeseen and productive syntheses.Against the tide of institutional balkanisation and specialisation this volume testifies to a defiant reanimation of the most radical philosophical problematics—the status of the scientific object metaphysics and its “end” the prospects for a revival of speculative realism the possibility of phenomenology transcendence and the divine the nature of causation the necessity of contingency—both through a fresh reappropriation of the philosophical tradition and through an openness to its outside. The breadth of philosophical thought in this volume is matched by the surprising and revealing thematic connections that emerge between the philosophers and scientists who have contributed.
