Is philosophy still alive? Are there any alternatives to univocal postmodernist thought? Is there any point to asking age-old questions about the existence of reality and the possibility of knowledge, about being (ontology) and knowing (epistemology)? Ernesto Castro issues a resounding yes to these and many other questions plaguing philosophy today. In addition he introduces the readers to the works and ideas of important, living philosophers such as Quentin Meillassoux, Ray Brassier, Graham Harman, Iain Hamilton Grant, Maurizio Ferraris, or Markus Gabriel.
