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\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Philippe Lynes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Northwestern University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/15\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780810148987","brand":"Northwestern University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45046506717321,"sku":"9780810148987","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_a6261fad-88b9-49c6-8bcb-a4bb55ecc07e.jpg?v=1765400440","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/dearth-deconstruction-after-speculative-realism-the-nothing-and-nothingness-volume-1-9780810148987","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
