Paul Ennis with news of his book

So I just received an email from Zero that Continental Realism is off to the printers. I think those who have read it so far seemed to have enjoyed it and I did manage to secure two endorsements that should give readers some idea of what to expect:

‘Paul J. Ennis has given us the first general overview of the theses of After Finitude, and of their reception in the Anglo-American philosophical field. The theses in question – speculative and correlationist – are here exposed with clarity and fidelity. An indispensable introduction to speculative realism.’
– Quentin Meillassoux, Le Département de philosophie, École normale supérieure

‘In its brief compass Ennis’s book gives a lively, sympathetic though critical account of a newly emergent movement of thought – speculative realism – that looks set to transform received ideas of what counts as “continental” philosophy.’
– Christopher Norris, School of English, Communication and Philosophy, Cardiff University

All that is left now is the cover and so I imagine that the book might be released around March just in time for my viva. From then on I’ll finally be in a position to defend something recognizable as my own stance.

Those are great endorsements. But Paul has really been impressive – I can’t think of any other PhD students who have written a book, edited one (Post-Continental Voices), and founded a journal (Speculations) before their viva…
