title = "Speculation: Politics, Ideology, Event",
abstract = "Speculation: Politics {\textendash} Ideology {\textendash}Event develops Hegel{\textquoteright}s radical perspective of speculative thought as a way of reclaiming and revitalizing the sense of the future and its possibilities. Engaging with such figures such as Badiou, Meillassoux, Laclau, {\v Z}i{\v z}ek and Jameson, Glyn Daly elaborates the distinctness of speculative philosophy and draws its implications for new debates in areas of science, politics, capitalism, ideology, ethics and the event. In a confrontation with today{\textquoteright}s fatalistic milieu, capital emphasis is given to Hegel{\textquoteright}s idea of infinity as the intrinsic dimension of negativity within all finitude. Against the modern era{\textquoteright}s paradigmatic tendency to externalize social problems in the form of antagonism and Otherness, Daly argues for a renewal of utopian thought based on Hegelian reconciliation and the affirmation of excess as the essence of all being. On these grounds, Daly advances a new kind of political imagination that in speculative terms centres on uncompromising notions of truth and reason.",
