Paperback. Condition: New. Objects generate time; time does not generate or change objects. That is the central thesis of this book by the philosopher Graham Harman and the archaeologist Christopher Witmore, who defend radical positions in their respective fields. Against a current and pervasive conviction that reality consists of an unceasing flux - a view associated in philosophy with New Materialism - object-oriented ontology asserts that objects of all varieties are the bedrock of reality from which time emerges. And against the narrative convictions of time as the course of historical events, the objects and encounters associated with archaeology push back against the very temporal delimitations which defined the field and its objects ever since its professionalization in the nineteenth century. In a study ranging from the ruins of ancient Corinth, Mycenae, and Troy to debates over time from Aristotle and al-Ash'ari through Henri Bergson and Alfred North Whitehead, the authors draw on alternative conceptions of time as retroactive, percolating, topological, cyclical, and generational, as consisting of countercurrents or of a surface tension between objects and their own qualities. Objects Untimely invites us to reconsider the modern notion of objects as inert matter serving as a receptacle for human categories.…

Rustica (tapa blanda). Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: Nuevo. 01. Los objetos generan tiempo; el tiempo no genera ni transforma los objetos. Esa es la tesis central de este libro del filósofo Graham Harman y el arqueólogo Christopher Witmore, quienes defienden posiciones radicales en sus respectivos campos. En oposición a la extendida convicción contemporánea de que la realidad consiste en un flujo incesante, una visión asociada en filosofía con el nuevo materialismo, la ontología orientada a objetos afirma que los objetos de toda índole constituyen el fundamento de la realidad a partir del cual emerge el tiempo. Y, en contraste con la narrativa que concibe el tiempo como el transcurso de acontecimientos históricos, los objetos y encuentros propios de la arqueología desafían las delimitaciones temporales que definieron a esta disciplina y sus objetos desde su profesionalización en el siglo XIX. En un estudio que abarca desde las ruinas de la Antigua Corinto, Micenas y Troya hasta los debates sobre el tiempo de Aristóteles y al-Ashari, pasando por Henri Bergson y Alfred North Whitehead, los autores exploran concepciones alternativas del tiempo como retroactivo, per.
