The questions of why and how we think the way we do have captivated philosophers for centuries, and Timothy Morton explores these themes in his book, \"The Stuff of Life.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMorton chooses objects that have shaped and punctuated his life to tell the story of who he is and why he might think the way he does. These objects are not just things in the ordinary sense; they are beings, non-human beings, that possess their own presence and force. From the imposing expanse of Battersea Power Station to a packet of anti-depressants and a cowboy suit, Morton delves into the significance of \"stuff\" and the profound impact it has had on these objects' lives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough his philosophical exploration, Morton asks us to consider the \"stuff,\" things, objects, and buildings that have formed our realities and who we are and might be. He invites us to reflect on the relationships we have with these things and the ways in which they have shaped our experiences and perspectives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart memoir, part philosophical exploration, \"The Stuff of Life\" offers a thought-provoking and enriching journey that challenges us to think beyond the boundaries of our own lives and consider the broader implications of the things we encounter. It is a testament to the power of objects and the ways in which they can reveal the essence of our existence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 184g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 129 x 198 x 17 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781350240483\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Prof. TimothyMorton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44284374843642,"sku":"9781350240483","price":14.27,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1686921160853_book.jpg?v=1687006967","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/the-stuff-of-life-9781350240483","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
