Summary:A critical reading guide to Garcia's systematic metaphysical treatise, Form and ObjectThe publication of Form and Object: A Treatise on Things by Tristan Garcia, Prix de Flore-winning novelist, philosopher, essayist, and screenwriter is a genuine event in the history of philosophy. Situating this event within classical, modern, and contemporary dialectical space, Jon Cogburn evaluates Garcia's metaphysics, differential ontology, and militant anti-reductionism through a series of seemingly incompatible oppositions: substance/process, analysis/dialectic, simple/whole and discovery/creation. Cogburn also includes a critical assessment of the consequences of Garcia's philosophy, the various unresolved problems in his treatise and the future prospects of speculative metaphysics.Key FeaturesA critical guide to Garcia's systematic metaphysical treatise, Form and Object, and its reconfiguration of traditional philosophical debatesBridges both the analytic and continental philosophical traditionsRaises several residual and substantive problems concerning: anti-reductionism, Kantianism, epistemic comprehension and non-epistemic set membership, quietism and the Euthyphronic dilemma, and persistence over timeIncludes an interview with Garcia asking him about the critical issues raised in the book and his current research
