Graham Harman: Between Realism and Correlationism

Abstract

This article argues that Graham Harman’s philosophy navigates between realism, an im- materialist realism in his case, in the framework of ontology and correlationism in that of epistemology, the latter aspect that he cannot avoid despite raising a post-anthropocentric thinking. To explain Harman’s theoretical proposal, we analize the central axis of his on- tology, objects, also explaining how his definition deviates from the classical perspectives on these objects, and we study the way in which they are linked to each other, an issue that will lead to defend the correlationist character of Harman’s epistemology.
