Description
Platonic myth meets American noir in this haunting series of philosophical images. In "Circus Philosophicus", Graham Harman explores the intersection of philosophy and mythology, seeking to restore myth to its central place in the discipline. Through a series of thought-provoking chapters, Harman examines various phenomena, from the motion of a gigantic Ferris wheel to reports of ghostly boats in Japanese waters. He delves into the nature of causation on an offshore drilling platform and proposes a theory of objects without relations. This book is a unique blend of philosophical inquiry and mythological exploration. Harman's work challenges traditional notions of philosophy, inviting readers to reconsider their understanding of the world and its many mysteries.
