A Hub for OOO
Paul Ennis of anotherheideggherblog just created another OOO blog (sorry Paul, I had to make the joke:).
Seriously though, the blog is called Object Oriented Blogging, and it is meant ‘as a hub [for] posting any interesting [thing] I find on OOP online or offline’.
As I commented in one of the posts, I think it is a brilliant idea, both to further keep the network linked together and to offer a good starting point to the new reader who is just approaching SR or OOO (introductory resources, apart from a ‘Speculative Realism’ entry on Wikipedia, are lacking). In fact I wonder: would anyone be up to writing an ‘Object Oriented Ontology’ entry on Wikipedia? I think Harman himself could write down some basic draft, or maybe a more complete entry could be prepared, where nuances between his approach and Levi’s one are described? Just an idea.
[EDIT: Michael from Complete Lies has added an 'Object Oriented Philosophy' subsection to the wikipedia page on Speculative Realism. Thanks a lot!]

I remember Levi stating somewhere that the SR wiki page was bad because neither he nor Graham can write their own page…well technically they could but ‘morally’ it just dosen’t work that way. Nothing worse than the Wiki page written by the entree (there are hilarious wiki pages for some academics that they clearly wrote themselves). I think it is up to us smaller fish to get working on this too.
Yeah, you are right about that. Still, we can have them review it for inaccuracies or inconsistencies once it is up.
