Garcian Meditations (eBook, PDF)

The Dialectics of Persistence in Form and Object

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

The publication of Form and Object: A Treatise on Things by Tristan Garcia, Prix de Flore-winning novelist, philosopher, essayist, and screenwriter is a genuine event in the history of philosophy.

Situating this event within classical, modern and contemporary dialectical space, Jon Cogburn evaluates Garcia''s metaphysics, differential ontology, and militant anti-reductionism through a series of seemingly incompatible oppositions: substance/process, analysis/dialectic, simple/whole and discovery/creation.

Cogburn also includes a critical assessment of the consequences of Garcia''s philosophy, the various unresolved problems in his treatise and the future prospects of speculative metaphysics.
