Philippe Lynes proposes nothing less than a radical reconceptualization of deconstruction as a call to bear witness to nothingness: let the earth be the earth, let nature be nature, and leave them to their reality, secrecy, and withdrawal without us. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eDearth: Deconstruction After Speculative Realism\u003c\/i\u003e argues that Derrida's seminars on Martin Heidegger and Maurice Blanchot, \u003ci\u003eLa Chose\u003c\/i\u003e (The Thing), anticipated many of the philosophical, literary, and aesthetic questions animating speculative realism today: an anti-anthropocentric critique of Kantian correlationism; an overcoming of the apocalyptic nihilism of extinction through a deeper, affirmative habituation to nothingness; and poignant reflections on the literary and poetic aspects of living and dying in impossible worlds. His is an anti-correlationist plea that resounds now more urgently than ever. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePHILIPPE LYNES \u003c\/b\u003eis a researcher with the Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art \u0026amp; Design and the Department of Philosophy at the University of Dundee, and a visiting scholar with the School of Modern Languages \u0026amp; Cultures at the University of Glasgow. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Northwestern University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51863277338898,"sku":"9780810148970","price":41.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_701aed19-b030-45b3-9648-e414b7648435.jpg?v=1767784649","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/dearth-deconstruction-after-speculative-realism-the-nothing-and-nothingness-volume-1-9780810148970","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
