Abstract

Originally published in 2013 (Rosenberg & Sellier) —one year after the Manifesto of New Realism— Positive Realism reappears now in the Materia Oscura publishing house and allows us to return to one of the clearest formulations of Maurizio Ferraris' philosophical programme: a dual gesture that combines criticism of what he calls the "transcendental fallacy" with the defence of an independent reality that manifests itself not only as resistance, but also as an invitation. This edition opens with a lucid introductory study by J.H. Marcelo —also responsible for the translations of other works by Ferraris such as Documentality. Why it is necessary to leave traces (2023) and The Webfare Manifesto (2025)—, and ends with an epilogue to the Spanish edition (pp. 109-122), in which the author explains the background and scope of his proposal: to restore the ontological role of perception, reconstruct a theory of objects, and rethink the relationship between reality, fiction, and possibility as a way out of the contemporary anti-realist impasse.
