"Speculative Realism: Introduction" is the opportunity to be at the center of the most ambitious attempt in recent decades to reclaim the future of philosophy. Graham Harman, a leading theorist of object-oriented ontology (one of the versions of speculative realism), offers his perspective on speculative realism as a contested whole, revealing the main positions, points of divergence, and purposes of the four branches of one of the most important currents in contemporary philosophy.
