Description
Timothy Morton acuñó el término "hiperobjeto" para referirse a las cosas que se distribuyen masivamente en tiempo y espacio en relación con los humanos. Un agujero negro, un campo petrolero, la biosfera o el sistema solar, todos los materiales nucleares de la Tierra, son hiperobjetos. Un hiperobjeto podría ser un producto de manufactura humana de larga duración, como el poliestireno, o también la suma de toda la maquinaria chirriante del capitalismo....

Description
¿Qué pueden enseñarnos las naves espaciales sobre la ecología, el feminismo, la democracia y la naturaleza de los objetos?
Este es un libro sobre las astronaves de nuestra imaginación. Sin embargo, dice Morton, las astronaves son mucho más que eso. Las astronaves son seres autónomos, y tienen algo que decirnos. Basándose en el quimérico Halcón Milenario de Star Wars, el aclamado autor de Hiperobjetos nos conduce a un viaje intergaláctico...

Timothy Morton argues that ecological awareness in the present Anthropocene era takes the form of a strange loop or Möbius strip, twisted to have only one side. Deckard travels this Oedipal path in Blade Runner (1982) when he learns that he might be the enemy he has been ordered to pursue. Ecological awareness has this form because ecological phenomena have a loop form that is also fundamental to the structure of how things are. The logistics of...

What is it that makes humans, human? As science and technology challenge the boundaries between life and non-life, between organic and inorganic, this ancient question is more timely than ever. Acclaimed Object-Oriented philosopher Timothy Morton invites us to consider this philosophical issue as eminently political. It is in our relationship with non-humans, that we decided the fate of our humanity. Becoming human, claims Morton, actually means creating...

"Having set global warming in irreversible motion, we are facing the possibility of ecological catastrophe. But the environmental emergency is also a crisis for our philosophical habits of thought, confronting us with a problem that seems to defy not only our control but also our understanding. Global warming is perhaps the most dramatic example of what Timothy Morton calls "hyperobjects"--Entities of such vast temporal and spatial dimensions that...

Ecology books can be confusing information dumps that are out of date by the time they hit you. Being Ecological doesn't preach to the eco-choir. It's for you even, Timothy Morton explains, if you're not in the choir, even it you have no idea what choirs are. You might already be ecological. After establishing the approach of the book (no facts allowed!), Morton draws on Kant and Heidegger to help us understand living in an age of mass extinction...
