Throughout the past century, a debate has raged over the thesis of realism and its alternatives. Realism-the seemingly commonsensical view that all or most of what we encounter in the world exists and is what it is independently of human thought-has been vigorously denied by such prominent intellectuals as Jacques Derrida, Michel Foucault, Richard Rorty, Thomas Kuhn, Hilary Putnam, and Nelson Goodman. The opponents of realism, among them historians and social scientists who support social constructionism, hold that all or most of reality depends on human conceptual schemes and beliefs. In this volume of original essays, a group of philosophers explores the ongoing controversy. The book opens with an introduction by William P. Alston, whose writing on the subject has been widely influential. Selected essays then compare and contrast aspects of the arguments put forward by the realists with those of the antirealists. Other chapters discuss the importance of the debate for philosophical topics such as epistemology and for domains ranging from religion, literature, and science to morality.

10 critical essays challenge speculative realism from perspectives from German idealism to phenomenology and deconstructionSpeculative 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.Key FeaturesChallenges the current anti-realist reading of key post-Kantian thinkersProposes alternative forms of realism to speculative realism or object-oriented ontologyContributorsAlison Assiter, University of the West of England, Bristol, UK.Lee Braver, University of South Florida, USA.G.

Ce livre défend la thèse du réalisme et s'oppose à l'antiréalisme dominant dans la philosophie moderne, selon lequel le monde n'est que notre représentation. Ce réalisme peut être appliqué à l'esthétique, les propriétés esthétiques sont réelles, et nous pouvons les attribuer correctement aux objets qui les possèdent. Existe-t-il une harmonie entre le monde tel qu'il est, notre nature humaine et notre esprit ? Telle est la question centrale de ce livre.
