No longer sidelined, aesthetics has grown in confidence. While this recent development brings with it a return to the work of the canonical authors (most notably Baumgarten and Kant), some contemporary scholars reject the traditional focus on epistemology and theorize aesthetics in its ontological connotations. It is according to this shift that speculative realists have proclaimed aesthetics as ?first philosophy? and as speculative in nature. With speculative realism aesthetics no longer necessarily implies human agents. This is in alignment with the general speculative realist framework for thinking all kinds of processes, entities, and objects as free from our all-pervasive anthropocentrism, which states, always, that everything is ?for us.? This special volume of Speculations explores the ramifications of what could be termed the new speculative aesthetics. In doing so, it stages a three-fold encounter: between aesthetics and speculation, between speculative realism and its (possible) precursors, and between speculative realism and art and literature. 606 $aRealism 606 $aAesthetics, Modern$y21st century 610 $aspeculative realism 610 $aphilosophy 610 $aaesthetics 610 $ametaphysics 610 $aart 615 0$aRealism. 615 0$aAesthetics, Modern 676 $a111/.850905 700 $aAskin$b Ridvan$4edt$01363674 702 $aAskin$b Ridvan 702 $aEnnis$b Paul John 702 $aHa?gler$b Andreas 702 $aSchweighauser$b Philipp 801 0$bWaSeSS 801 1$bWaSeSS 801 2$bUkMaJRU 912 $a9910140442203321 996 $aSpeculations$93384634 997 $aUNINA
