About the book:
Object-oriented ontology offers a startlingly fresh way to think about
causality that takes into account developments in physics since 1900.
Causality, argue, Object Oriented Ontology (OOO), is aesthetic. In
Realist Magic, 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.
