The first book to offer extended critical engagement of the work of the major contemporary Italian philosopher Maurizio Ferraris, showing how his thought is essential to international debates around New Materialism, Speculative Realism and Deconstruction.In Philosophy of Traces, twenty-two contributions from world-class contemporary philosophers set out the questions and answers that constitute the pillars of Ferraris' work. At its foundation is the concept of the trace, that which arises in the process of the transmission and recording of information which is the basis of natural and social life. The essays explore the significance of the trace across a diverse range of fields including metaphysics, epistemology, aesthetics, philosophy of technology, science and technology studies, architecture, literary theory, and anthropology.With an introduction by Ferraris himself, this volume will be the key resource for anyone interested in the principal philosopher of New Realism, as well as those concerned with the legacy of post-structuralist philosophy in the Italian context.

In ontology, realism and anti-realism may be taken as opposite attitudes towards entities of different kinds, so that one may turn out to be a realist with respect to certain entities, and an anti-realist with respect to others. In this book, the editors focus on this controversy concerning social entities in general and fictional entities in particular, the latter often being considered nowadays as kinds of social entities. More specifically, fictionalists (those who maintain that we only make-believe that there are entities of a certain kind) and creationists (those who believe that entities of a certain kind are the products of human activity) present themselves as the champions of the anti-realist and the realist stance, respectively, regarding the above entities. By evaluating the pros and cons of both these positions, this book intends to focus new light on a longstanding debate.
