“Questions for Flat Ethics”

Thursday, October 18th, 2012: 6:00-7:00 pm
303 Chemistry/Physics Building

Dr. Levi Bryant will address ethical questions that arise from object-oriented ontologies. The talk should interest people engaged with posthumanisms, new materialisms, ethics, and the recent, much-debated philosophical turn toward objects and things. Levi Bryant is Professor of Philosophy at Collin College and author of Difference and Givenness: Deleuze's Transcendental Empiricism and the Ontology of Immanence; The Democracy of Objects; and the forthcoming book, Onto-Cartographies: An Ontology of Space and Time.  He co-edited The Speculative Turn: Continental Materialism and Realism with Nick Srnicek and Graham Harman.  He has given many invited talks nationally and internationally and writes a blog at http://larvalsubjects.wordpress.com/.  His book, The Democracy of Objects is available here: http://openhumanitiespress.org/democracy-of-objects.html
