I’m a big philosophy reader, and I often joke that I read mostly dead people. I’m trying to expand into more recent developments in phi, and I read a book last year that introduced (to me, at least) the idea of object-oriented ontology as the idea that the human-centered methods of understanding are only going to get us so far, and are actually contributing to certain distortions / myopias in our knowledge about the world. It reminds me a bit of Edward Sayed’s “Orientalism” but replacing the roles of occident and orient with human and nonhuman. I’m far from the brightest bulb on the string, so my understanding is very likely flawed. Can anyone recommend further reading on OOO and / or hyperobjects?

Regards,

John
