Speculative/Philosophy and so on


Exploring new frontiers of thought speculative philosophy is basically working on a level of fantasy. This is why the nature of desire and knowledge, as within the fantasy, was elaborated by Plato, closely connected to the idea of truth. However, working on the level of fantasy, philosophy's search for truth thus requires a company of (Lacanian) psychoanalysis and its discourse of the location of the real/ontic not in our faculties but beyond such Kantian discourse: into the domain of the unconscious; an eccentric place, whereas the locus of the subject is not entirely void but a force – the Freudian drive, force of life, Eros: a force of gravity, invisible and known only by its effects; a gravity holding together the singularity of individual being, related to the world and other singularities, animated and other, as an alien One to the Whole. Now, this circular reasoning, from the question of fantasy to the (false metaphysical) question of the Being - by dialectical necessity of the movement of thought - we arrive at a fundamental question, reasoning initially on the hypothesis of the ontic status of the subject of the unconscious. A move towards “ontology” locating the space of relations and non-relations in-between singularities to investigate speculative thought, the thinking itself, to anything it thinks (is thinking), as a fantasy to truth, is ultimately a move from Heideggerian "thinking" returning to philosophy - after its dead.
