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\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0810148978\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780810148970\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Northwestern University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/15\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Philippe Lynes","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46880930070783,"sku":"9780810148970","price":38.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8e76dfbd-ba52-4bff-a321-0fcd8d11c9f5.jpg?v=1747970151","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dearth-philippe-lynes-9780810148970","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
