Through Irony to Realism: An Essay Review
Keywords:
Ernesto Castro, speculative realism, post- modernity, irony, metaphysics, universals.Abstract
This article aims to reconstruct the discourse of Ernesto Castro on speculative realism connecting it to the role of irony in the philosophical matter. Irony is shown to play an ambiguous role in the history of thought parting from the figure of Socrate and arriving to contemporary speculative philosophers. The differences between post- modern thought and realistic one in the way to treat irony are explicated. The author also makes an attempt to state the key points of the debates within speculative thought and to outline Castro’s position in relation to them.
