Philosophy: metaphysics & ontology; Philosophy: epistemology & theory of knowledge
The first comprehensive scrutiny of the theories associated with new materialisms including speculative realism, new materialism, Object-oriented ontology and actor-network theory.

One of the most influential trends in the

humanities and social sciences in the last decades, new materialisms embody a

critique of modernity and a pledge to regain immediate reality by focusing on

the materiality of the world – human and

nonhuman – rather than a post-structuralist focus upon texts.

Against New Materialisms examines the theoretical and practical problems connected with discarding modernity and the human subject from

a number of interdisciplinary angles: ontology and

phenomenology to political theory, mythology

and ecology.

With contributions from international

scholars, including Markus Gabriel, Andrew Cole, and Dipesh Chakrabarty, the

essays here challenge the capacity of new materialisms to provide solutions to

current international crises, whilst also calling into question what the

desire for such theories can tell us about the global situation today.
