Crossing the boundaries between 'continental' and 'analytic' philosophical approaches, this book proposes a naturalistic revision of the mathematical ontology of Alain Badiou, establishing links with structuralist projects in the philosophy of science and mathematics.

This article examines the thought of the American philosopher Roy Wood Sellars, preeminent exponent of the realist tradition of American philosophy in the first few decades of the twentieth century. I will examine, in particular, two key themes of his philosophical production: his critical realism and his evolutionary naturalism. Important and largely unexplored connections between his theses and those of his more well-known son, Wilfrid Sellars, will also be highlighted. Keywords: Roy Wood Sellars; Critical Realism; Epistemology. ; Roy Wood Sellars (1880–1973) è stato un prolifico filosofo la cui carriera è durata dagli anni '10 fino agli anni '70 del ventesimo secolo. Oggi conosciuto principalmente come padre del più noto e influente Wilfrid Sellars, Roy Wood Sellars fu un pensatore indipendente ed originale. Canadese di origine ma formatosi nel mondo filosofico statunitense, Sellars fu esponente di spicco del revival del realismo americano – membro fondatore del movimento del "realismo critico" – nonché fervente sostenitore di una filosofia naturalista, nota come "naturalismo evoluzionista", in dialogo con le scienze fisiche e biologiche. I temi principali affrontati nei suoi testi sono principalmente di natura epistemologica, ma con un costante riguardo per il problema del rapporto tra mente e corpo. Tra le sue numerosissime pubblicazioni vi sono anche testi di filosofia politica, filosofia della scienza, etica, e religione.

"In this sixth issue of Speculations, a serial imprint created to explore post-continental philosophy and speculative realism, a wide range of contemporary philosophical issues pertaining to the contemporary philosophical scene is touched upon, from the continental realism of Tristan Garcia, Graham Harman and Quentin Meillassoux to the 'new realism' of Maurizio Ferraris, from Lacanian and Laurellian speculations to the synthetic philosophy of Fernando Zalamea's mathematics"--

In this third volume of Speculations, a serial imprint created to explore post-continental philosophy and speculative realism, a wide range of topics are covered, from the philosophy of religion to psychoanalysis to the philosophy of science to gender studies, and in a wide variety of formats (articles, interviews, position pieces, translations, and review essays)

From the Editorial Introduction: "If the first volume of Speculations was enough of an explicit wager, a willing blind leap in the terra incognita of the publishing world, then this volume forces us to stop and evaluate the reasons for the journal's protracted existence. This is all the more important when we consider how the range of meanings of the term 'speculative realism' seems to be growing--with increasing numbers of thinkers situating themselves in its trail, or holding a somewhat cautious interest in it--while its e ective reference seems nowhere to be found. ..."

"With this special volume of Speculations, the editors wanted to challenge the contested term "speculative realism," offering scholars who have some involvement with it a space to voice their opinions of the network of ideas commonly associated with the name"--

From the Editorial Introduction: "Since I am convinced that nobody reads editorials I will keep my remarks brief. Putting together the inaugural issue of Speculations has been an unusual experience. It has depended on the collusion of fellow speculative types, the help of many anonymous reviewers, the endless patience of designer Thomas Gokey, and more hours than someone in the final year of their PhD should ever spend on a project. Looking over the final product I think it has all been worth it. This is the first journal dedicated to speculative realism and despite the obscurity of that term I think we all understand it as a handy label under which weird realists, continental metaphysicians, object oriented ontologists, transcendental realists, vitalists, and Lovecraftians can unite. This is also, perhaps, the first time a journal can boast that each contributor is also a blogger. This is the reason why Speculations could only ever be an online, open-access journal. …"
