From the Back Cover
'Tom Sparrow argues that phenomenology's method results in idealism; descriptive analysis entails constitutive analysis. He then reviews the metaphysical realism variously argued in eight thinkers of the speculative realism movement. This valuable book not only offers readers a clear account of this important contemporary debate, but critically advances the arguments.' Alphonso Lingis, Professor of Philosophy, Emeritus, Pennsylvania State University The methodology of speculative realism and phenomenology under scrutiny In the twentieth century it was phenomenology that promised a method that would get philosophy 'back to the things themselves'. But phenomenology has always been haunted by the spectre of an anthropocentric antirealism. Tom Sparrow shows how, in the twenty-first century, speculative realism aims to do what phenomenology could not: provide a philosophical method that disengages the human-centred approach to metaphysics in order to chronicle the complex realm of nonhuman reality. Through a focused reading of the methodological statements and metaphysical commitments of key phenomenologists - including Husserl, Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty and Levinas - alongside the original proponents of speculative realism - Graham Harman, Quentin Meillassoux, Ray Brassier and Iain Hamilton Grant - as well as key figures in speculative realism's second wave, this book shows how and why speculative realism is replacing phenomenology as the beacon of realism in contemporary Continental philosophy. Tom Sparrow teaches in the department of philosophy at Slippery Rock University, Pennsylvania.
