Abstract

The questions of what speculation is, what it means and what it is for, touch and trouble the pieces of work in this issue. As nature begins to ‘speak back’ at our various misdemeanours, exploitations and violences, the urgency of tackling the messy, unpredictable, volatile and multiple materials of possible futures is thrown into stark relief. The utopian ambitions of Harris and his co-founders must necessarily remain a stubborn visibility, amid all the visible and invisible problems presented by seriously researching the world. The work that has been shared here, and the conversations, projects, missions and stories that it will continue to nourish, extends a branch, a semi-visible rope, into the strange and unpredictable world of speculative thought. Far from Kant’s sombre reflections, this issue is also somehow near to them, as the task of revealing, un-concealing, via the speculative work of our reason, the processes, mechanics and ethics of our knowledge, is still ongoing.
