Speculative realism
Speculative realism
is a movement in contemporary
philosophy
which defines itself loosely in its stance of
metaphysical realism
against the dominant forms of
post-Kantian philosophy
(or what it terms
correlationism
). Speculative realism takes its name from a conference held at
Goldsmiths College
,
University of London
in April 2007. The conference was moderated by
Alberto Toscano
of Goldsmiths College, and featured presentations by
Ray Brassier
of
American University of Beirut
(then at
Middlesex University
),
Iain Hamilton Grant
of the
University of the West of England
,
Graham Harman
of the
American University in Cairo
, and
Quentin Meillassoux
of the
École Normale Supérieure
in Paris. Credit for the name "speculative realism" is generally ascribed to Brassier, though Meillassoux had already used the term "speculative materialism" to describe his own position.
