Spinoza's Political Philosophy
Riccardo Caporali makes a close and circular connection between metaphysics, ethics and politics in Spinoza’s thought. He offers an examination of all of Spinoza’s works while addressing the challenges imposed by the historical curcumstances at the time. As a result, Spinoza’s work and its author, the philosopher and the man, go hand in hand. Focusing on Spinoza’s constant preoccupation with the relationship between metaphysics and politics, Capo…
Spinoza's Political Philosophy
The Anthropologic Machine
Unbecoming Human
Explores the Deleuzian idea of becoming animal Proposes a philosophical concept of animality that applies to both human and nonhuman living beings Draws the first fully detailed cartography of the complex field of animality as it appears in continental philosophy, literary studies, environmental humanities, anthropocene studies, feminist studies, posthumanism, and critical animal studies Covers two points that have never before been addressed: th…
Speculations VI
In this sixth issue of Speculations, a serial imprint created to explore post-continental philosophy and speculative realism, a wide range of contemporary philosophical issues pertaining to the contemporary philosophical scene is touched upon, from the continental realism of Tristan Garcia, Graham Harman and Quentin Meillassoux to the ‘new realism’ of Maurizio Ferraris, from Lacanian and Laurellian speculations to the synthetic philosophy of Fern…
A Response to Reeves and Peters
In this response I reply to the critiques from Josh Reeves and Richard A. Peters and argue that, even in light of their objections, my presentation of and critical stance towards the science and religion field remains justified. I will acknowledge the lack of an adequate treatment of evolutionary theories of religion in my paper, but question the way in which this lack would undermine my critiques of the theology-laden discourse of science and re…
The Theological Hijacking of Realism
This paper questions and criticizes the employment of critical realism in the field of 'science and religion'. Referring to the texts of four main actors in this field, I demonstrate how the choice of critical realism is justified by a (disguised) apologetic interest in defending the epistemic privilege of the theological enterprise against that of the natural sciences. I argue that this is possible thanks to the reactivation of 'theological pote…
Between Naturalism and Rationalism
This review essay attempts to present a coherent and reasonably unitary picture of the contemporary ‘speculative turn’ in continental philosophy as charted in Levi Bryant, Nick Srnicek and Graham Harman, eds, The Speculative Turn: Continental Realism and Materialism (2011). Avoiding a more objective yet more anodyne chapter by chapter summary, I paint an intentionally synoptic view by selecting some common concerns of the authors involved, and gr…
Turning a Critical Eye on Science and Religion
The aim of this paper is to offer a critical evaluation of the field of “science and religion” through a brief description of its academic evolution, of the kind of scholars involved in it, and the publications belonging to it. Some elements of this discourse will be highlighted and criticized, namely a number of eurocentric theological assumptions, and what I will define as a “soteriological rhetoric” which serves as a legitimating device for th…
