Voted the 75th most powerful influence on modern art by ArtReview, Graham Harman writes a comprehensive introduction to one of the more important theories to emerge in the field of philosophy in recent years. In this work Harman shows us the importance of Object-Oriented Ontology (OOO) which rejects the idea of human specialness. Harman claims that at the heart of OOO is the idea that objects are mutually autonomous. In this new introduction, Harman lays out OOO’s history, ideas, and impact, taking in art and literature, politics and natural science along the way. From Sherlock Holmes, unicorns, and videogames to Dadaism, Voltaire, and string theory, this book will change the way you understand everything.
