Exhibiting extraordinary range and depth, Nathan Brown takes on the most important philosophical issues of our time: the relation between reason and reality, sapience and sentience, the possibility of revolution and the material conditions of freedom. Inviting serious debate on fundamental questions, this book reawakens our sense of the true, the good, and the beautiful.-Martin Hägglund, author of This LifeRationalist Empiricism advances a wholly original and utterly convincing philosophical position, brilliantly bringing together studies in visual art, science, politics, and the history of philosophy. This will be one of the most important theoretical works of the last twenty years or more. It represents a renewal of theory in the best possible sense.-Audrey Wasser, author of The Work of DifferenceTwenty-first century philosophy has been drawn into a false opposition between speculation and critique. Nathan Brown shows that the key to overcoming this antinomy is a reengagement with the relation between rationalism and empiricism. If Kant's transcendental philosophy attempted to displace the opposing priorities of those orientations, any speculative critique of Kant will have to reopen and consider anew the conflict and complementarity of reason and experience. Rationalist Empiricism shows that the capacity of reason and experience to extend and yet delimit one another has always been at the core of philosophy and science. Coordinating their discrepant powers, Brown argues, is what enables speculation to move forward in concert with critique. Sweeping across ancient, modern, and contemporary philosophy, as well as political theory, science, and art, Brown engages with such major thinkers as Plato, Descartes, Hume, Hegel, Marx, Heidegger, Bachelard, Althusser, Badiou, and Meillassoux. He also shows how the concepts he develops illuminate recent projects in the science of measurement and experimental digital photography. With conceptual originality and argumentative precision, Rationalist Empiricism reconfigures the history and the future of philosophy, politics, and aesthetics.Nathan Brown is Associate Professor of English and Canada Research Chair in Poetics at Concordia University, Montreal, where he directs the Centre for Expanded Poetics.
