As Holderlin was to Martin Heidegger and Mallarme to Jacques Derrida, so is H.P. Lovecraft to the Speculative Realist philosophers. Lovecraft was one of the brightest stars of the horror and science fiction magazines, but died in poverty and relative obscurity in the 1930s. In 2005 he was finally elevated from pulp status to the classical literary canon with the release of a Library of America volume dedicated to his work.

Breaking from the traditional focus on his metaphysics, most recently seen in Harman s book Prince of Networks, the author instead begins with the Hobbesian and even Machiavellian underpinnings of Latour s early period encountering his shift towards Carl Schmitt then finishing with his final development into the Lippmann / Dewey debate.

An in-depth study of the emerging French philosopher Quentin Meillassoux In this expanded edition of his landmark 2011 work on Meillassoux, Graham Harman covers new materials not available to the Anglophone reader at the time of the first edition.
