The claim that all objects equally exist is the claim that no object can be treated as constructed by another object"-- Google books. 330 $aIn The Democracy of Objects Bryant proposes that we break with the epistemological tradition and once again initiate the project of ontology as first philosophy. Bryant develops a realist ontology, called 'onticology', which argues that being is composed entirely of objects, properties, and relations. Bryant proposes that objects are dynamic systems that relate to the world under conditions of operational closure. 517 $aNew Metaphysics 606 $aHumanities 606 $aMetaphysics 606 $aObject (Philosophy) 615 0$aHumanities. 615 0$aMetaphysics. 615 0$aObject (Philosophy) 676 $a001.3 700 $aBryant$b Levi R.$0801830 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996198798503316 996 $aDemocracy of Objects$91803103 997 $aUNISA
