Undermining and Overmining | Graham Harman's "Object Oriented Ontology"

In this lecture, we'll explore Graham Harman's definition of an object and how his ontology is not purely or essentially a materialist ontology, as well as explain two terms Harman uses to discuss problematic habits in theories of ontology. Enjoy!

Parker: Very interesting video! We would've liked to hear more about what sorts of analysis happen under Harman's frame, it feels like you glossed over that part, but it's certainly a valuable thing pointing out and synthesizing these two ways of looking at things

[@gavinyoung-philosophy]

Yeah, his approach is both idiosyncratic and rather typical, so I figured it’d just be better to read the book. These are just some of the more helpful/interesting concepts from the book I thought it worth doing a lecture on.

Tryna catch up but your last AntiOedipus vid was quite instructive

I’m glad!

13:41 Where does Deleuze says this ?

[@gavinyoung-philosophy]

Difference and Repetition is where it’s first articulated, especially towards the end in chapter IV where he discusses the cosmic egg. It’s so riddled throughout A Thousand Plateaus and Manuel DeLanda’s work on D&G
