Dissertation PDF

I welcome any comments or suggestions by email. If you don't have the time to leisurely read 250 pages at this moment, here's a brief abstract:

Philosopher Graham Harman, one of the major figures in the philosophical movement known as speculative realism, talks about object-oriented philosophy and his book The Quadruple Object. We also chat about Bruno Latour, the Egyptian revolution, Foucault, Freud, animal rights, and whether or not guns kill people.

Preview: As a followup, the next episode will present the original recording of Quentin Meillassoux's 2007 English-language lecture at the Goldsmiths conference on Speculative Realism. 

Introduction to the podcast and a conversation with French philosopher Barbara Cassin about Google, Aristotle, the politics of knowledge, Heidegger and more. For more on her work, see the enclosed PDF featuring Cassin interviewed by Penelope Deutscher.
