Timothy Morton: Realist magic

Ecologist, literary theorist, object-symbol Timothy Morton leads us to the magical night of objects. Things are withdrawn from the inner world, and cannot be reduced to perception, relationship or use of them. Things can only affect each other in the strange realm of traces and footprints, in the aesthetic dimension. All objects glow with absence. The sensory thing is the grief of the loss of the object. Does it not tell us something about the aesthetic dimension, something about why philosophers often view it as a realm of evil? The realist magic probes humanity in terms of object-sensitivity. Morton claims that over-incompatibility is a aesthetic phenomenon. The aesthetic event is not limited by interaction between humans and the human and the fireballs, or by interaction with people and the lines in the drama. The aesthetic event happens when the saw cuts new pieces of plate. The aesthetics are when the worm comes out of the wet soil. The aesthetic event happens when a giant object emits gravitational waves. When we make art or study it, we're either creating causation or studying humanity. So Morton says that aesthetic dimensions are human beings.
