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.[1] Speculative realism takes its name from a conference held at Goldsmiths College, University of London in April 2007.[2] 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,[3] though Meillassoux had already used the term "speculative materialism" to describe his own position.[4] Critique of correlationism[edit] Variations[edit] Speculative Materialism[edit] Object-oriented philosophy[edit]
