To me it is fascinating to think that these articles and the seminars they refer to were part of what around this time became speculative realism. Graham Harman, one of the founders of the movement, has often pointed out this connection, "It was always a loose arrangement of people who shared few explicit doctrines and no intellectual heroes except the horror writer H.P. Lovecraft, an improbable patron saint for a school of metaphysics."
