Towards Speculative Realism: Essays and Lectures - Harman Graham
These writings chart Harman's rise from Chicago sportswriter to co-founder of one of Europe's most promising philosophical movements: Speculative Realism. Unpublished in philosophy at the time, he was already a popular conference speaker on Heidegger and related themes. In 1997, Graham Harman was an obscure graduate student covering Chicago sporting events for a California website.
This fascinating collection of eleven essays and lectures from 1997-2009, anchored by Harman's rebellious transformation of Heideggerian philosophy, show the evolution of his object-oriented metaphysics from its early days into an increasingly developed philosophical position. Little more than a decade later, as the author of stimulating and highly visible books on continental philosophy, he was Associate Vice Provost for Research at the American University in Cairo, and a key member of the Speculative Realist movement along with Ray Brassier, Iain Hamilton Grant, and Quentin Meillassoux. Each chapter is preceded by Harman's delightful and witty scene-setting commentary.
