There may exist something like the most unbearable of all philosophical thoughts. It is the thought of contingency and universality converging, intersecting, and being one and the same thing, approached from two different perspectives. Hardly anything is as unsettling as the insight into the absolute contingency of the emergence of universals, and the correlative realization that the only true universality is one of the contingency of everything. The goal of this book is to think this unbearable thought through to the end and face up to its most binding and disconcerting consequences. The history of science is full of theoretical unifications of two previously mutually exclusive concepts or two opposite realms (natural and unnatural motion in Galilei, terrestrial and celestial physics in Newton, man and animal in Darwin, electricity and magnetism in Maxwell, mass and energy, space and time, acceleration and gravity in Einstein, etc.). This book is based on the conjecture that what philosophy is lacking is a similar unification of the concepts of "contingency" and "universality." The book will thereby try to accomplish an operation that is implicit in the philosophy of Slavoj Zizek. In doing so, it will provide new answers to questions on the nature of contingency, necessity, predictability of the future, the validity of the laws of nature, the role of singularity in relation to universality, chaos and order, reality and truth. These answers will differ starkly from the ones advocated by contemporary philosophers such as Badiou, Meillassoux, some other speculative realists, and some analytical philosophers of science.

A New Ontology

The Contingent Universality

Philosophy Of Science

At the beginning of the 20th century, modern science asserted that only matter really exists. Science, philosophy, and culture declared the victory of materialism over all other worldviews. The contemporary world was formatted according to the software of materialism, coupled with Darwinism, capitalism, individualism, and consumerism. This system engendered the infernal cycle of over-exploitation, over-production, and over-consumption, with many negative consequences. After a century of exponential development, contemporary science is now asserting: Matter doesn't really exist. Different interpretations of contemporary physics, as well as the union of the quantum revolution and the information processing revolution, are leading to the revolutionary conclusion that the universe is not made up of matter or material objects but of energy - understood as activity and complex information-processing systems or agents.

Critical Perspectives and New Responses

The Legacy of Kant in Contemporary Philosophy

Heidegger's Metaphysics explores how Heidegger continued the project of Being and Time, developing a new kind of metaphysics through a critique of Kantian transcendental philosophy. Drawing on Heidegger's published work, lecture courses, drafts, and correspondence from the late 1920s, it reconstructs the philosophical justification for this project, its implications for Heidegger's phenomenology of time, and his understanding of philosophical concept formation. Daly proposes that Heidegger's project neither failed nor remained indebted to a Kantian transcendental framework, and challenges the widespread interpretation of Heidegger as a critic of metaphysics. This work examines a wide range of themes that have been largely neglected in discussions of Heidegger's work, including a phenomenology of the mythical world (in dialogue with Ernst Cassirer's work), the origin of religious concepts, the development of a temporality of thrownness, and Heidegger's critique of Kantian transcendentalism. It finishes by challenging the separation of Heidegger's philosophy from his politics and asks what we can retrieve from his project today.

An Introduction to Collective Intentionality

Key areas and aspects of ancient philosophy in Greek and Indian Buddhist traditions are illuminated in this collection. Covering an extended period of time, from early (5th century BC), through Hellenism (at Cyrene), to post-Hellenistic times (up to the 7th century AD) it begins by focusing on historical themes and methods in ancient Greece and India. This sketch of historical and philosophical connections between the regions, from Classical times to post-Hellenism, sets the ground for deeper exploration between these two traditions. Attention is placed on reality and selfhood. An international team of contributors deal with topics including consciousness, personal identity and personhood. They tackle metaphysical questions about composition and material constitution of things, shedding light on the challenges Greek and Buddhist thinkers faced. Converging analyses and shared themes are identified in a substantive introduction to the collection. Key philosophical terms from ancient Greek, Latin, Sanskrit and Tibetan are included in a glossary. This is an important contribution to the growing literature in ancient comparative philosophy.
