“an object is a postmodern subject”
-Lance Kair.
Granted I’m not laying out my whole theoretical base here in these comments. If you’re interested I’ve written a couple books or you could check out the rest my blog.
Objects may go along with representational thinking but I would challenge anyone to not have some thinking that is representational despite how you wanted to define it. Ive read some authors on the mid-20th century frame this kind of discussion by”inference” instead of representation, but that seems to me like a very sophisticated and institution endorced game of 3-card Monte using words.
Under which term is the object …. under which cup is the ball!
The problems we are confronting in our day is the perpetuation of postmodern kind of Deconstruction or postmodern kind of application of theoretical forces.
I simply take The method of such applications and the results as facts. When we consider the ontological result of what we might generalize as postmodern thought, my argument is that it is found to be an incorrect method, even while it is the method of living in the modern world.
Due to this incorrect manner, or one of two types of orientation, I place the whole tradition which supposes to find itself in the postmodern condition in the category of object.
What this means then is that objects are subject to postmodern condition, and that if indeed this is the case, the Laruelle’s Nonphilosophical situation presides epistemologically so that the subject being at self an agent of post modernity itself becomes an object of its own estimations, its own constructions as well as its own deconstructions. The totality that this situation indicates can be called thus an object in itself, because it defines itself by its limitations.
This is where I see Adams robust ontology, The ability to have such an analysis, text From, again despite all the theoretical postulates and name associations.
For those interested, you can find my book HERE:
