new books

The books everyone was already expecting from me were:

*L’objet quadruple (French)

*The Quadruple Object (English)

*Circus Philosophicus (English)

I can now report two additional books, already finished:

*Towards Speculative Realism: Essays and Lectures
[ADDENDUM: there are 11 essays and lectures in all, none of them published before]

*The Prince and the Wolf: Latour and Harman at the LSE

Both will be published by zerO Books, whose assertive philosophy program is unlike anything I’ve ever encountered, and should be watched closely.

The Prince and the Wolf will include the 35,000-word transcript of the February 5, 2008 event at the London School of Economics (which some of you attended) at which Latour responded to the draft version of Prince of Networks. The title refers to Latour’s running joke that morning that compared philosophers with wolves. Peter Erdélyi of ANTHEM fame is editing the transcript and will also write an undoubtedly informative Foreword to the volume.

Book #6 cannot be announced yet. It has passed the reviewer stage but not yet the businesspeople stage. But I think it will be of great interest to readers of this blog, and with luck there should be an announcement by the end of the month.

Towards Speculative Realism is ready to roll as soon as I give it one last read-through.
