Circulating freely through the oceans, they don’t become isolated enough to form new species and, like Habsburg emperors, have small gene pools. In this book, Harman defends something like compatibilism by proposing the idea that ultimately reality is not wavelike nor particle-like but both. Harman is behind a voguish movement in philosophy called object-oriented ontology, whose acronym OOO gives it a disarmingly camp Larry Grayson vibe. Harman doesn’t quite pop Sloterdijk’s bubbles, but he does propose something equally opposed to the idea that humans are masters of their domains. Harman’s OOO suggests that the world is not understandable only by humans and that non-human entities have their thoughts.
