On what occasions and in what ways do we speak of reality today? What role does this idea play in our thinking and lives? In his concise book, Jocelyn Benoist masterfully connects insights from phenomenology and analytical philosophy, demonstrating that the concept of reality continues to play a constitutive role in our thinking even after the rejection of any essentialist definition. In pointed studies, he examines how the concept of reality is applied in various fields—from the philosophy of mind, individual intentionality, and perception, to the social and political realms. A fundamental contribution to the current debate on new realism.
