Tatsachen statt Fossilien. Neuer versus Spekulativer Realismus

Author(s): Gabriel, Markus

Abstract

Speculative Realism starts out from a critique of Correlationism. Its theoretical advantage supposedly is its ability to rethink the ancestral, i.e. that which was before it could be stated as Being. This paper argues against this approach by showing that Speculative Realism is precisely not able to employ the existence of fossils as a metaphysical proof. Subsequently, a neorealist ontology of facts is introduced as a superior alternative and questioned in view of its concept of nature.
