My Take
Timothy Morton is one of the more genuinely useful philosophers I've encountered. Oxford-educated, born in London in 1968, and now a chair in English at Rice University, he wears the dense banner of object-oriented philosophy but is really wrestling with something that touches all of us: where the line between human and nature actually falls. I admire that he treats ecology as serious thought rather than sentiment. His ideas can be slippery, even maddening, but I'd rather follow a thinker who refuses easy answers than one who flatters us. That intellectual stubbornness, to me, is exactly the point.
