Talk:Speculative realism

message: I added the notability tag because I'd like to see more third party sources asserting that this is a significant concept. Cjs2111 (talk) 10:43, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: - This is an attack on a controversial but important philosophical current. The many books published on the topic are surely sufficient for notability. Likewise, the importance should be elevated. --Quinn d (talk) 00:22, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

message: I know nothing about speculative realism, and the first sentence, telling me where the term derives from, is useless. The first sentence should tell me, as succinctly and clearly as possible, what speculative realism is. — Hugh 04:47, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I have added this: "Speculative Realism is an emerging movement in contemporary philosophy which defines itself loosely in its stance of metaphysical realism against the dominant forms of post-Kantian philosophy or what it terms correlationism." How does this sound to you? Zorio (talk) 12:37, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  Great, thanks! :) — Hugh 03:13, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

message: I have made an effort to clean up the few references in-text, adding a proper reference section to the article. I have also added a couple of references to the sections on Speculative Materialism and Transcendental Nihilism. It would be great if others could expand the article in this fashion, adding quotes with proper references or simply citing the relevant sections and adding them to the reference section. I think we have a great start to this article, but need to clean it up and further conform it to Wikipedia standards, which means references! — Zorio (talk) 21:54, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: - I'm removing the warning against self-published references, since there is no evidence of this, and there is no discussion on the talk page. --Quinn d (talk) 00:28, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

message: There is no reason nor evidence to suggest that speculative realism is defunct; the tone of previous versions has been pejorative and dismissive. Evidence to the contrary? EastCoast1111 (talk) 00:19, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

message: should any referance be made to Cyclonopedia and its connection to Speculative realism ? Krbrowning (talk) 22:33, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cyclonopedia 

message: While Brassier's comments are properly cited (in Kronos publication), the section is unnecessarily controversial. The interview with Brassier had little to do with the term "speculative realism", and there is no reason to suppose that Brassier was doing anything other than all philosophers who are labeled (c.f., Foucault's dismissal of being called a structuralist, and then later a post-structuralist, post-modernist, etc.). The movement clearly exists (see activity on the web for evidence), even if the main proponents dismiss it. This section could be collapsed into a sentence in the Internet section, noting that Brassier dismisses the term, but that considerable writing on the Internet uses the term. --Quinn d (talk) 00:44, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
