Adrian Johnston strikes again. This new book is a most comprehensive and rigorous account of the contemporary philosophical debates concerning materialism and the necessity of its conceptual reinvention. In arguing his own original conceptual line, Johnston addresses most of the critical points in the contemporary materialism debate. And he does so with breathtaking ease, strolling among various key philosophical projects. This excellent book is a delightful must for everybody concerned with materialism and related matters.

Adrian Johnston passionately defends the tenets of what materialism should be for our times. His new book is as sweeping, engaged, erudite and lucid as his previous extensive attempts, bringing his project of transcendental materialism to a new degree of clarity, passionately defending it against a wide range of opponents, and in the best tradition of materialism, polemically engaging with friends
