Sommario/riassunto

Object-oriented ontology offers a startlingly fresh way to think about causality that takes into account developments in physics since 1900. Causality, argues, Object Oriented Ontology (OOO), is aesthetic. In this book, Timothy Morton explores what it means to say that a thing has come into being, that it is persisting, and that it has ended. Drawing from examples in physics, biology, ecology, art, literature and music, Morton demonstrates the counterintuitive yet elegant explanatory power of OOO for thinking causality.

Dans cet ouvrage, Timothy Morton, écologiste de premier ordre, critique littéraire et philosophe orienté vers l’objet nous entraîne dans une nuit magique des objets. Si les choses sont intrinsèquement en retrait, irréductibles à leur perception, à leurs relations, ou à leurs usages, elles peuvent seulement s’affecter les unes les autres dans une étrange région de traces et d’empreintes : la dimension esthétique. Tout objet scintille dans l’absence. Les choses sensibles sont des élégies à la disparition des objets. Est-ce cela ne nous dit pas quelque chose de la dimension esthétique, à savoir pourquoi les philosophes l’ont souvent considérée comme le royaume du mal?
