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.New metaphysics.Object (Philosophy)OntologyCausationontologyphysicscausalityAestheticsImmanuel KantTimothy MortonObject (Philosophy)Ontology.Causation.111Morton Timothy1968-762810WaSeSSWaSeSSUkMaJRUNZ-WeVULBOOK9910563075603321Realist Magic1804175UNINA
