Hyperobjects: Philosophy and Ecology After the End of the World by Timothy Morton

2.0

*Hyperobjects* reflects many of the worst characteristics of continental philosophy, mushy concepts, an erudition that bullies and distracts rather than elucidates, analogy and bluster in place of argumentation. This is a work of philosophy that contains no sustained engagement with philosophy, a work of ecology that contains at best casual reference to ecological details, a work of politics that manages at most a couple of vague proposals. As a work of literature, of description, it has its moments; though perhaps its best use is as a compendium of other books and artworks one might better occupy oneself with.
