Adding a comment upon the previous two posts: 

it should be no wonder that there is no more overt questioning of how we are to go about things in the world: We have to buy and sell stuff, material. It appears the young generation had just accepted this without question where the grown, if there was a question, they have just capitulated. This is the New Realism: An automatic acquiescence to the reality of material objects. The theorists don’t even offer a why or a reason how they were able to negotiate their thoughtful philosophical world to come to this new object oriented reality. They just did. Besides, true to the Object Realists proposal, they are just following the route they established, which is that they should be allowed to be an authentic individual. So this authenticity is thus purchasing power; marketing, positioning, proposing , rhetoric, sales, products, commodity. And they do so in no uncertain terms by simply deciding that they are bored with the Cartesian/Phenomenal subject. So hey, who can fault them for putting forth a marketable product as legitimized theory?  

And part of Bryant’s great idea is that this determination of objects occurs in such a way to allow them to have a place in the world where they ‘can’t help’ but produce theory that says they are determined in what they can do, are or otherwise are being/producing. Amazing.

I wonder if Bryant himself will notice that his Material Unconsciousness is just a half step away from having a sort of communion or intuition of the purpose of a sort of transcendental agent. For, what is the difference between a God that we o ly partially can know, that presents us with situations wherein we choose our path, but that is ultimately ‘God’s plan’, and a Material Unconsciousness where we have choice except that we don’t notice that the situation has been set such that we indeed always only have one choice, determined in our movements ?

It all begins with Aphilosophy. The move into the object is based in a denial of the situation, for it is the situation of real meaning that has lead theorists to ‘the last’ contradictory place, such that they can only now function, that is, make theoretical capital, through denial. 

The Aphilosophical route will expose the foundationless positions these New Realists are contriving: It is a discursive fad that leads back to a re-establishment of a transcendental causal agent. But this time, within a truely universal ‘catholic’ world religion.
