698I Am Also of the Opinion That Materialism Must Be DestroyedEnvironment and Planning D 28 (5): 1-17. 2010.This paper criticizes two forms of philosophical materialism that adopt opposite strategies but end up in the same place. Both hold that individual entities must be banished from philosophy. The first kind is ground floor materialism, which attempts to dissolve all objects into some deeper underlying basis; here, objects are seen as too shallow to be the truth. The second kind is first floor materialism, which treats objects as naive fictions gullibly posited behind the direct accessibility of a…Read more

35GoldIn Jeffrey Jerome Cohen (ed.), Prismatic Ecology: Ecotheory Beyond Green, University of Minnesota Press. pp. 106-123. 2014.This chapter follows the fortunes of one specific object that is both widely prized and universally known: gold. It examines the long history of gold from cosmic eons predating humans and considers various structural features of gold that arise from its chemical properties without being reducible to them. After considering examples of the effect of gold on humans, who are dazzled by its splendor, corrupted by its value, and made cruel through their ravenous hunt for the metal, the chapter observ…Read more

267Tool-Being: Heidegger and the Metaphysics of ObjectsOpen Court. 2002.Martin Heidegger (1889–1976) influenced the work of such diverse thinkers as Sartre and Derrida. In Tool-Being, Graham Harman departs from the prevailing linguistic approach to analytic and continental philosophy in favor of Heideggerian object-oriented research into the secret contours of objects.

29Bruno Latour: Reassembling the PoliticalPluto Press. 2014.Bruno Latour, the French sociologist, anthropologist and long-established superstar in the social sciences is revisited in this pioneering account of his ever-evolving political philosophy. Breaking from the traditional focus on his metaphysics, most recently seen in Harman's book Prince of Networks, the author instead begins with the Hobbesian and even Machiavellian underpinnings of Latour's early period and encountering his shift towards Carl Schmitt and finishing with his final development in…Read more

15Return of the Reality PrincipleAl-Ahram Weekly (668). 2003.Graham Harman discusses how French philosopher Bruno Latour, lecturing this week at the American University in Cairo, rejects the Kantian tradition putting the human being at the centre of philosophy and, instead, calls for an absolute democracy of objects

31Circus PhilosophicusZero Books. 2010.Platonic myth meets American noir in this haunting series of philosophical images, from gigantic ferris wheels to offshore drilling rigs. It has been said that Plato, Nietzsche, and Giordano Bruno gave us the three great mythical presentations of serious philosophy in the West. They have spawned few imitators, as philosophers have generally drifted toward a dry, scholarly tone that has become the yardstick of professional respectability. In this book, Graham Harman tries to restore myth to its c…Read more

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.
