Description
Summary: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 this book, 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.
La ontología-orientada a objetos (OOO) nos ofrece una forma novedosa y sorprendente de pensar la causalidad que toma en consideración los desarrollos de la física que se inician a principios del siglo XX. Para la OOO, la causalidad es estética. En este libro, Timothy Morton explora lo que significa afirmar que algo advenga a la existencia, que persista, y que deje de existir. Tomando ejemplos de la física, la biología, la ecología, el arte, la literatura y la música, Morton pone en evidencia el poder explicativo elegante, aunque contrario a la intuición, de la OOO para explicar cómo opera la causalidad. Traducción a cargo de Laureano Ralón y Román Suárez.
