Speculative realism challenges philosophical approaches and traditions for supposedly failing to do justice to the real world. Taking this realist challenge seriously, Continental Realism and Its Discontents refuses to discard the philosophical contributions of Kant, Schelling, Merleau-Ponty, Derrida and Nancy without closer scrutiny. Instead, the contributors turn to these thinkers to meet the challenge of realism in contemporary philosophy.
How refreshing to read a volume that seeks to bring opposing philosophies into dialogue without the usual tribalism and self-justification. By all means read this book for its penetrating and exceptionally wide-ranging critique of Speculative Realism, but savour it also as that rarest of dishes: genuine philosophical encounter. -- Christopher Watkin, Monash University
