Continental Realism

Paul J. Ennis has given us the first general overview of the theses of After Finitude, and of their reception in the Anglo-American philosophical field. The theses in question - speculative and correlationist - are here exposed with clarity and fidelity. An indispensable introduction to speculative realism. (Professor Quentin Meillassoux, Le Departement de philosophie, Aecole normale superieure) In its brief compass Ennis's book gives a lively, sympathetic though critical account of a newly emergent movement of thought - speculative realism - that looks set to transform received ideas of what counts as 'continental' philosophy.
