Listen "Graham Harman: Objects Untimely, the Subject, Freedom, and Is Kant the Enemy of Metaphysics?"
Episode Synopsis
Prof Graham Harman is Distinguished Professor of Philosophy at the Southern California Institute of Architecture in Los Angeles. He was also a professor at the American University in Cairo, Egypt, and professor of philosophy at The European Graduate School. Prof Harman is one of a handful of contemporary philosophers who are constructing the position called speculative realism, and his specific position centres on Object-Oriented Ontology. Prof Harman has authored numerous books such as 'Object-Oriented Ontology: A New Theory of Everything', 'Objects Untimely: Object-Oriented Philosophy and Archaeology' and 'Architecture and Objects'. In this episode, we discuss the relationship between objects and time, subjective freedom, Kant and metaphysics, speculative realism, object-oriented ontology, phenomenology, Hegelian philosophy, Husserl, Heidegger, Bruno Latour, Schelling and Merleau-Ponty, science and philosophy and the metaphysics of objects and subjects.
