But as Graham Harman, one of the theory's leading exponents, shows, Object-Oriented Ontology rejects the idea of human specialness: the world, he states, is clearly not the world as manifest to humans. At the heart of this philosophy is the idea that objects - whether real, fictional, natural, artificial, human or non-human - are mutually autonomous. In this brilliant new introduction, Graham Harman lays out the history, ideas and impact of Object-Oriented Ontology, taking in everything from art and literature, politics and natural science along the way. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eGraham Harman\u003c\/b\u003e is Distinguished Professor of Philosophy at SCI-Arc, Los Angeles.
