In far too much continental philosophy, the Earth is a cold, dead place enlivened only by human thought?either as a thing to be exploited, or as an object of nostalgia. Geophilosophy seeks instead to question the ground of thinking itself, the relation of the inorganic to the capacities and limits of thought. This book constructs an eclectic variant of geophilosophy through engagements with digging machines, nuclear waste, cyclones and volcanoes, giant worms, secret vessels, decay, subterranean cities, hell, demon souls, black suns, and xenoarcheaology, via continental theory (Nietzsche, Schelling, Deleuze, et alia) and various cultural objects such as horror films, videogames, and weird Lovecraftian fictions, with special attention to Speculative Realism and the work of Reza Negarestani. In a time where the earth as a whole is threatened by ecological collapse, On an Ungrounded Earth generates a perversely realist account of the earth as a dynamic engine materially invading and upsetting our attempts to reduce it to merely the ground beneath our feet. 606 $aArt objects, Medieval 610 $aart history 610 $amedieval architecture 610 $aobjects 610 $abook history 610 $aart theory 615 0$aArt objects, Medieval. 700 $aWilliams$b Maggie M$4auth$01353068 702 $aWilliams$b Maggie M. 702 $aOverbey$b Karen Eileen 801 0$bWaSeSS 801 1$bWaSeSS 801 2$bUkMaJRU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910140442603321 996 $aTransparent things$93219808 997 $aUNINA
