Crispin Sartwell, professor at Dickinson College, student of Richard Rorty, famed radical journalist (whose syndicated column appeared in The Los Angeles Times and The Philadelphia Inquirer), author of ten books from places such as Routledge, SUNY, University of Chicago, and Cornell University presses, and owner of the eye of the storm blog, is another analytic philosopher interested in Speculative Realism. Read his blog post HERE.
I (and I'll speak for Protevi and Jeff Bell here too) feel somewhat validated in our belief that the main authors involved in Speculative Realism and Object Oriented Philosophy have constructed a wonderful place for analytic and continental philosophers to meet, have a couple of beers (or shisha!), and discuss metaphysics. Anyhow, please read Sartwell's post if you are interested.
[Of course pluralism doesn't exhaust what's interesting about Speculative Realism. An even more remarkable thing is how many artists and novelists such as Bruce Sterling are reading these books and having it influence their art. My earlier, very quick attempt to situate Speculative Realism from an analytical perspective is HERE.]
