Método especulativo e atualidades vazias de Whitehead a Harman

Main Article Content

André Arnaut

Abstract

In this article, I contend that Whitehead’s speculative method, in its harmanian appropriation that I will call fidelity to hybrids, should take us, against Whitehead, to a metaphysics that accepts the idea of vacuous actualities. Then I show how the vacuous actualities of harmanian real objects could, on the one hand, avoid a return to the relational and, on the other hand, avert its being discarded as a mere nil. In this reading of Harman’s object-oriented philosophy, vacuous actualities are involved in the very expression of reasons in Harman’s irreductionism, i.e., of reasons as hybrids or weird.
