Waves and Stones

Meer over het boek

The book explores the philosophical divide between 'waves,' which perceive gradual progress, and 'stones,' which focus on abrupt changes. Graham Harman identifies this dualism as a fundamental paradox in human thought, present across various disciplines such as mathematics and politics. By tracing its historical roots from Aristotle to Bergson, he offers a unified theory that reshapes our understanding of continuity and discontinuity, revealing its impact on our lives and perspectives.
