Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from New Ways of Ontology It goes without saying that in as summary a discussion as the present one we cannot do justice to medieval metaphysics. But here our concern is not with medieval metaphysics but with contemporary issues. For these, it is imperative that we achieve a clear view of certain fundamental traits of the onto logical views which were at the basis of that metaphysics. We must learn from the mistakes of these old ontological views, so that any and every attempt at a new ontology may dissociate itself unambiguously and consciously from all such errors. The critical epistemology of the modern age from Descartes down to Kant did not succeed in completely replacing the old ontology with a new doctrine of equal value. But it had so thoroughly destroyed its presuppositions that a metaphysics erected on the old basis was no longer possible. The Critique of Pure Reason, in which the work of thorough houseclean ing reached its end, marks a historical boundary beyond which ontological thinking all but vanishes. This is noteworthy, be cause the Kantian critique was actually not leveled against the foundations of the old ontology but rather against the specula tive-rational metaphysics which had been built upon it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ontology It is believed that the treatise will be useful in more clearly defining certain philosophical terms in frequent use through out Swedenborg's scientific writings. Although it was probably written at some period prior to the author's illumination, it seems quite reasonable to infer that the meaning of those terms remained essentially the same in his Theological works.

Download or read book Object Oriented Ontology written by Graham Harman and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2018-03-01 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is reality, really? Are humans more special or important than the non-human objects we perceive? How does this change the way we understand the world? We humans tend to believe that things are only real in as much as we perceive them, an idea reinforced by modern philosophy, which privileges us as special, radically different in kind from all other objects. But as Graham Harman, one of the theory's leading exponents, shows, Object-Oriented Ontology rejects the idea of human specialness: the world, he states, is clearly not the world as manifest to humans. At the heart of this philosophy is the idea that objects - whether real, fictional, natural, artificial, human or non-human - are mutually autonomous. In this brilliant new introduction, Graham Harman lays out the history, ideas and impact of Object-Oriented Ontology, taking in everything from art and literature, politics and natural science along the way. Graham Harman is Distinguished Professor of Philosophy at SCI-Arc, Los Angeles. A key figure in the contemporary speculative realism movement in philosophy and for his development of the field of object-oriented ontology, he was named by Art Review magazine as one of the 100 most influential figures in international art.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Unorthodox Conception of Being: A Synthetic Philosophy of Ontology The first draft of this work was written in the latter part of the nineteenth century. During the decade or more since its inception a wider reading has revealed to the author that, although the ideas herein expressed are independent, they, with few exceptions, have already been expressed by others. This might be taken as demonstrating that "There is nothing new under the sun," but this is true only in part. There certainly are new forms. Not only new forms in the arrangement of the material, but also new forms of the expression of ideas. Although each idea embraced in the composition of a conception might be old, yet a different combination of these ideas would give a philosophy of existence differing in many respects from any philosophy heretofore given and possibly more nearly in accord with the actual facts of Being. We grant that the ordinary material elements are not new; that they have been known for centuries, and have existed from infinity; yet combinations of these elements are constantly being made, giving us compounds that in all probability have not before existed on this earth.

Download or read book Castoriadis s Ontology written by Suzi Adams and published by Fordham Univ Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first systematic reconstruction of Castoriadis's philosophical trajectory. It critically interprets the shifts in his ontology by reconsidering the ancient problematic of human institution(nomos) and nature(physis), on the one hand, and the question of beingand creation, on the other.Unlike the order of physis, the order of nomos has played no substantial role in the development of Western thought. The first part of the book suggests that Castoriadis sought to remedy this by elucidating the social-historical as the region of being that eludes the determinist imaginary of inherited philosophy. This ontological turn was announced in his 1975 magnum opus, The Imaginary Institution of Society.With the aid of archival sources, the second half of the book reconstructs a second ontological shift in Castoriadis's thought that occurred during the 1980s. The author argues that Castoriadis extends his notion of ontological creationbeyond the human realm and into nature. This move has implications for his overall ontology and signals a shift toward a general ontology of creative physis
