[3] Influenced by Slavoj Žižek and his readings of German idealism, Johnston's work is guided by what he calls “transcendental materialism”: an ontology that is materialist while nevertheless refusing to reduce away the gap that is human subjectivity.
Johnston is critical of the thinkers of immanence whom he believes can only give us subjectless substance.
