Form and Object

A Treatise on Things

Übersetzer: Ohm, Mark Allan; Cogburn, Jon

Beschreibung

What is a thing? What is an object? Tristan Garcia decisively overturns 100 years of Heideggerian orthodoxy about the supposedly derivative nature of objects to put forward a new theory of ontology that gives us deep insights into the world and our place in it.
