The Speculative Turn: Continental Materialism and Realism is an engaging anthology that brings together, in twenty-three essays and two interviews, a diverse array of scholars (both established and at the beginning of their careers) whose thought falls under the domain of the two terms in the subtitle. Though there is little agreement to be found amongst these essays as to the specifics of this new “speculative” philosophy of realism and/or materialism (the two terms are not meant to be synonyms), all of the thinkers in this collection share a critical stance toward, and—for some—an outright rejection of, what has been for quite some time now a standard position in continental thought.
