Description
The Stuff of Life by Timothy Morton explores how objects have shaped and punctuated our lives. By examining the things that have had a presence and force in their own right, Morton reveals why 'stuff' matters and how it has impacted their existence. From everyday items like a teapot to more unusual objects like Battersea Power Station or a cowboy suit, Morton delves into the ways in which these non-human beings have formed our realities. This book is part memoir, part philosophical exploration of the meaning of life lived alongside and through other things. Morton's inquiry asks us to consider the role that objects play in forming who we are and might be. By examining the connections between ourselves and the world around us, this book invites readers to think about the significance of 'stuff' in our lives.
