Timothy Morton stretches a thread between philosophy and ecology, using the concept of hyperobjects to rethink our approach to global warming.
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. He holds the Rita Shea Guffey Chair in English at Rice University in Houston.
