13The Third TableIn Katrin Sauerländer (ed.), Documenta: 100 Notes-100 Thoughts, Documenta. 2012.Against A.S. Eddington's famous concept that there are "two tables" (the everyday and scientific tables), this article defends the notion that neither of these two is real. The real table is a third table not covered by either of Eddington's tables.

33Some Preconditions of Universal Philosophical DialogueDialogue and Universalism 15 (1-2): 165-179. 2005.Our own era is widely viewed as a golden age of intellectual tolerance when compared with the persecutions of yesteryear. But in fact, this tolerance serves to mask a fundamental indifference of one perspective to another. Each world view is seen as a personal opinion, walled off from others and immune to challenge or alteration by them. This article blames the current situation in part on the triumph of critical philosophy since Kant. In closing, several concrete and even whimsical proposals ar…Read more

96Materialism is Not the Solution: On Matter, Form, and MimesisNordic Journal of Aesthetics 24 (47): 94-110. 2015.This article defends a new sense of “formalism” in philosophy and the arts, against recent materialist fashion. Form has three key opposite terms: matter, function, and content. First, I respond to Jane Bennett’s critique of object-oriented philosophy in favor of a unified matter-energy, showing that Bennett cannot reach the balanced standpoint she claims to obtain. Second, I show that the form/function dualism in architecture gives us two purely relational terms and thus cannot do justice to th…Read more

21The Rise of RealismPolity. 2017.Until quite recently, almost no philosophers trained in the continental tradition saw anything of value in realism. The situation in analytic philosophy was always different, but in continental philosophy realism was usually treated as a pseudo-problem. That is no longer the case. In this provocative new book, two leading philosophers examine the remarkable rise of realism in the continental tradition. While exploring the similarities and differences in their own positions, they also consider th…Read more

27Immaterialism: Objects and Social TheoryPolity. 2016.What objects exist in the social world and how should we understand them? Is a specific Pizza Hut restaurant as real as the employees, tables, napkins and pizzas of which it is composed, and as real as the Pizza Hut corporation with its headquarters in Wichita, the United States, the planet Earth and the social and economic impact of the restaurant on the lives of its employees and customers? In this book the founder of object-oriented philosophy develops his approach in order to shed light on t…Read more

115Prince of Networks: Bruno Latour and Metaphysicsre.press. 2009.Prince of Networks is the first treatment of Bruno Latour specifically as a philosopher. It has been eagerly awaited by readers of both Latour and Harman since their public discussion at the London School of Economics in February 2008. Part One covers four key works that display Latour’s underrated contributions to metaphysics: Irreductions, Science in Action, We Have Never Been Modern, and Pandora’s Hope. Harman contends that Latour is one of the central figures of contemporary philosophy, with…Read more
