A Pelican Book: Object-Oriented Ontology by Graham Harman

2.0

A fairly short book that took me longer than Gravity's Rainbow. Harman has virtually no ideas that I can easily agree with, and his entire philosophy seems to be built around false premises that he refuses to see. For example, he thinks that objects exist at the deepest level of reality, but he cannot even argue for this claim. It's interesting to argue with Harman in your head, and it justifies (a bit) of reading the text, which seems smug and blind. The most interesting part was the overview of other similar thinkers, seasoned with caustic detailed descriptions of their “mistakes.” But thanks for at least this.
