What is a thing? What is an object? Tristan Garcia decisively overturns 100 years of Heideggerian orthodoxy about the supposed derivative nature of objects and in so doing provides deep insights about the world and our place in it. Tristan Garcia's original and systematic formal ontology of things strips them of any determination, intensity or depth. From this radical ontological poverty, he develops encyclopaedic regional ontologies of objects. By covering topics as diverse as the universe, events, time, the living, animals, human beings, representation, arts and rules, culture, history, political economy, values, classes, genders, ages of life and death, he shows that speculative metaphysics and ontology are alive and well.

  1. Ny filosofi
    Nicklas Wiklund, 27 juni 2014

    Ett uppfriskande originellt tänkande i förvånadsvärt lättillgänglig språkdräkt. Tristan Garcia tar läsaren med på en rafflande tankeresa i en platt värld där inga ting åsidosätts eller sätts över något annat, men där det skenbart enkla språket döljer en djup komplexitet.

One has to appreciate [Tristan Garcia's] novelty and courage.--Yuk Hui, Leuphana University Luneburg "Journal of Visual Culture " Marvelously translated by Mark Allan Ohm and Jon Cogburn, Tristan Garcia's Form and Object introduces a speculative metaphysical system that addresses some of the perennial problems of object-oriented ontology ("OOO"), an approach to ontological thinking most famously developed by Graham Harman ... This is a text of enormous breadth and substantial depth, and whether Garcia's project ultimately succeeds is, unfortunately, not a matter with which a review of this scope can robustly concern itself. There is much to admire here, however. Garcia has addressed some of the major concerns of OOO with a complexity and ambition that has few contemporary rivals, and has done so in a way that illustrates the relevance of object-oriented philosophy to many other fields. Readers will discover a robust challenge to both Hegelian and Nietzschean metaphysical critiques, but not without some dedication to making sense of Garcia's many neologistic constellations ... Still, this difficulty and seeming-impenetrability may be part of the text's allure: what major Continental text was not something of a mystery upon its initial publication? There is much more to unpack and discover in Form and Object and this, for now, may be enough to warrant its recommendation.
