In order to fill this blog with some content, I continue to highlight some articles. This time it will be a piece by Markus Gabriel in which he interprets Heidegger’s Kehre as an attempt to come up with a realist ontology. The most remarkable argument in this article is probably Gabriel’s defence of Heidegger’s philosophy against Meillassoux’ argument of correlationism. He even goes so far as to claim that After Finitude should be read as an interpretation of Heideggers philosophy, not as an argument against it. The argument is only presented as a side remark. In a footnote Gabriel promises that it will feature in more detail in his upcoming Fields of Sense (In Edinburgh press Speculative Realism series).
P.S. Maurizio Ferraris contributes to the same issue of META with an outline of his New Realism. I did not have time yet to read it, but it looks promising.
