All objects are bound by time : temporality and change in object-oriented philosophy

Abstract

Almost two decades have elapsed since the publication of a seminal work entitled Tool- Being: Heidegger and the Metaphysics of Objects, where its author Graham Harman first announced the birth of object-oriented philosophy (henceforth, OOP), namely his particular branch of what later became known as object-oriented ontology (henceforth, OOO). The 2007 Goldsmiths Speculative Realism conference served to further stimulate the growth of this particular form of realism, and has since attracted attention from a vast and diverse number of academic fields.
