Description

Objects generate time; time does not generate or change objects. This central thesis is explored in "Objects Untimely", a book by philosopher Graham Harman and archaeologist Christopher Witmore, who challenge prevailing views of reality. The authors argue that objects are the foundation of reality from which time emerges, rather than being shaped by it. They draw on alternative conceptions of time, including retroactive, percolating, topological, cyclical, and generational perspectives. By examining these concepts through archaeological lenses, Harman and Witmore push back against traditional notions of time in the field. This book invites readers to reconsider the modern notion of objects as inert matter serving as a receptacle for human categories.
