I haven’t picked up any of the OOP stuff, though I’ve been meaning too for a while. It looks like they’re doing some Cool Things.

Yeah, I really like it. It gives me a sense of excitement that I haven’t felt in philosophy in quite a while. Also, the style of a lot of the Speculative Realists really gets my attentions: it’s clear and poetic - two poles that have been missing in recent continental philosophy.

If you want to check out more, I suggest you check out Harman’s blog (he posts a lot of theory on there, along with a bunch of other interesting stuff). If you like what you see there, there’s a tone more links to similarly minded blogs on his website.

Further, the speculative realist anthology is freely downloadable and worth checking out. It’s got some supporting and dissenting voices for Speculative Realism, along with some essays by Zizek and Badiou. You can find it here if you’re interested.
