Description

Graham Harman presents his metaphysical system in clear and concise form, aided by helpful diagrams. In this book, he critiques philosophies that reject objects as primary reality, arguing that such approaches are flawed.

Harman reviews his concepts of sensual and real objects, attacking the prestige normally granted to philosophies of human access. He also explores his interpretation of Heidegger, culminating in a fourfold structure of objects linked by indirect causation.

The book concludes with Harman's thoughts on the implications of this theory for the debate over panpsychism, and introduces the concept of "ontography" as the study of object permutations. With easily remembered terminology drawn from standard playing cards, Harman simplifies complex ideas.
