The book of Graham Harman (born 1968), one of the key figures in the movement of "speculative realism", is an attempt by a holistic and consistent presentation of his own teaching, "object-oriented ontology". What is the world of objects independent of the human presence in the world? Why is art vital for philosophy? How do objects help to understand what is happening in the world of society and politicians? What is the influence of object-oriented ontology on architecture? How, finally, is an object-oriented ontology from other influential currents: archeology of knowledge, genealogy, deconstruction, actor-sulfur theory and "new materialism"? An influential American philosopher is trying to answer these and other questions in his popular introduction into "metaphysics of objects"
