Graham Harman, one of the founding members of the Object-Oriented Ontology (OOO) movement, was our guest for five days in Şirince, İzmir, Turkey this summer. Harman celebrated the 20th anniversary of the publication of his first book, Tool-Being (2002) with us. He gave four substantial lectures during the summer school and personally joined our discussions and answered our questions in the reading sessions which were based mainly on the books already available in Turkish.
The realist understanding adopted by the Object-Oriented Ontology movement has been the most salient novelty in the 21st century continental philosophy. Its influence went beyond the philosophy circles and had repercussions in many fields from archeology to literature, and from architecture to fine arts. We feel great excitement for the opportunity to be able to learn about this interesting philosophy from its founder himself; a philosophy which refuses to set out by subjecting the entities to a hierarchical taxonomy and considers not only the physical and solid things, but even abstract and immaterial things as objects, thereby getting to work by flattening out the ontological plane.
This session is first of four lecture presented in Object Oriented Summer School in July 25 2022 organised by Nomadic Thought Organization/Göçebe Düşünce Derneği.
Turkish explanations by Hakan Atay.
