New from OHP: Timothy Morton's Realist Magic

Friday, February 15, 2013 at 11:12AM

OHP is delighted to announce the most recent title in the New Metaphysics series, edited by Graham Harman and Bruno Latour:

Timothy Morton's Realist Magic.

The open access version is available from http://openhumanitiespress.org/realist-magic.html

Print and downloadable pdf versions will be available soon.

About the book:

Object-oriented ontology offers a startlingly fresh way to think about causality that takes into account developments in physics since 1900. Causality, argues, Object Oriented Ontology (OOO), is aesthetic. In Realist Magic, 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.

Updated on 28 October, 2024. Media Gifts is 'raw in its focus on content', having been constructed according to some of the principles of Brutalist Web Design set out by David Bryant Copeland. Except where otherwise indicated, content on Media Gifts can be distributed, reproduced, transmitted, translated, modified, remixed, built upon, used and 'pirated' in any medium, even without indication of origin. (This does not affect any rights others may have in it or in how it is used.) Given the lack of a licence that is consistent with the (inhumanist) approach to copyright that is articulated and enacted on Media Gifts - although the cc4r licence (https://gitlab.constantvzw.org/unbound/cc4r) comes closer than most - this statement is provided to acknowledge yet deny the copyrighting that is performed by default by a public domain CC-O licence or when all rights are otherwise waived.
