A review of "The Speculative Turn: Continental Materialism and Realism", originally posted on Amazon.
I haven't read this book, but I couldn't help commenting on it after
reading the editorial review. Apparently, continental philosophy has finally
discovered that - surprise - there actually is such a thing as a
mind-independent outside world.
Guys, thanks for noticing. :D
This project is known as "speculative realism", "guerrilla ontology" or simply as post-post-post-modernism (I self-referentially made up the last term). I'm sure it's mildly interesting, but personally I'm going out to look at the sun, the trees and the blackbirds, yes?
Besides, I was scared off from reading this book by the title of Alberto Toscano's contribution, "Against Speculation, or, A Critique of the Critique of Critique: A Remark on Quentin Meillassoux's After Finitude (After Colletti)".
My sympathies for poor Colletti.
PS. Please read Mike's comment on Eric's customer review! Cheeeeeers...
