Timothy Morton

Key figure of contemporary philosophy, Timothy Morton (born 1968 in London) is one of the leading thinkers of Object Oriented Ontology and advocates the consideration of "non-human" objects in the same way as humans. It proposes a singular analysis of the link between nature and civilization, arguing that the development of a truly ecological vision involves abandoning the very idea of nature.
