Book
Guerrilla metaphysics
Phenomenology and the carpentry of things
Abstract
The current fashions in both analytic and continental philosophy are staunchly anti-metaphysical. There is supposedly no way to talk about the world itself - the philosopher is confined to antiseptic discussions of language, or of other modes of human access to the world. In this provocative work, Graham Harman expands the discussion from his previous book, Tool-Being, arguing for a theory of "the carpentry of things"--A more accessible way of viewing the world that incorporates ideas from Husserl, Levinas, Lingis, and other philosophers.
