Art and Objects
In this book, the founder of object-oriented ontology develops his view that aesthetics is the central discipline of philosophy.Whereas science must attempt to grasp an object in terms of its observable qualities, philosophy and art cannot proceed in this way because they don't have direct access to their objects.Hence philosophy shares the same fate as art in being compelled to communicate indirectly, allusively, or elliptically, rather than in the clear propositional terms that are often taken – wrongly – to be the sole stuff of genuine philosophy. Conceiving of philosophy and art in this way allows us to reread key debates in aesthetic theory and to view art history in a different way.The formalist criticism of Greenberg and Fried is rejected for its refusal to embrace the innate theatricality and deep multiplicity of every artwork.This has consequences for art criticism, making pictorial content more important than formalism thinks but less entwined with the social sphere than anti-formalism holds.It has consequences for art history too, as the surrealists, David, and Poussin, among others, gain in importance.The close link between aesthetics and ontology also invites a new periodization of modern philosophy as a whole, and the habitual turn away from Kant’s thing-in-itself towards an increase in philosophical "immanence" is shown to be a false dawn. This major work will be of great interest to students and scholars of philosophy, aesthetics, art history and cultural theory.

Sustainability, Technology, and Finance : Rethinking How Markets Integrate ESG
This book explores the swiftly emerging nexus between sustainability, finance, and technology. Leading practitioners and academic thought leaders reflect on the ways in which technology and digitalization shape how sustainable finance professionals address environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues.Together, the contributors identify three spheres in which technology shapes how investors make sense of such issues:ESG and technology: finance professionals need to know about how technological innovations, such as chemical recycling for plastics, in the real economy shape firms’ ESG performance; ESG through technology: technological developments, such as AI and blockchain, can enable finance professionals to offer more fine-grained ESG analyses; andESG as technology: the ESG agenda itself is influenced by technological developments that are not well understood by practitioners (e.g., data mining for Bitcoin creating significant emissions).Using practically relevant examples and recent insights from people working in the field, the book explores the linkages between sustainability, technology, and finance in different contexts and shows how practitioners can accelerate needed change processes.This book primarily addresses practitioners in companies and investment firms as well as students enrolled in executive education and MBA programs.

Have you ever had objects in your food?
Yes, I have had objects in my food before. One time, I found a small piece of plastic in my salad at a restaurant. It was a very unpleasant experience and I immediately notified the staff. Another time, I found a small piece of glass in a jar of pasta sauce that I had purchased from the grocery store. Both incidents made me more cautious about inspecting my food before eating it.

How can you draw everyday objects enlarged in art class?
In art class, you can draw everyday objects enlarged by using the technique of foreshortening. Foreshortening involves drawing objects in a way that makes them appear closer or larger than they actually are. You can also use the grid method to enlarge the objects by drawing a grid over the object and then drawing a larger grid on your paper to scale up the object. Additionally, you can use the technique of exaggeration to emphasize certain features of the object and make it appear larger than life.

Are women objects?
No, women are not objects. Women are human beings with their own thoughts, feelings, and agency. Objectifying women reduces them to mere physical objects for the pleasure or use of others, which is dehumanizing and disrespectful. It is important to recognize and respect the full humanity of women and treat them as equals in all aspects of life.

How can one represent ideas through the alienation of art objects?
One can represent ideas through the alienation of art objects by using the concept of estrangement to provoke thought and reflection. By creating art objects that are intentionally removed from their usual context or altered in some way, artists can challenge viewers to reconsider their preconceived notions and assumptions. This can lead to a deeper understanding of the ideas and themes being explored, as well as sparking conversations about the role of art in society. The alienation of art objects can also serve as a form of social commentary, highlighting issues of marginalization, displacement, or disconnection.
