Thank you very much for this comment. I'm an armchair philosopher and I hadn't heard of Graham Harman. His notion of objects is beautiful. In one motion nihilism both compels me to accept my sins and deprives me of any path to salvation. Harman's objects capture the essential impetus of nihilism without ultimately voiding conception. In fact, they even capture the paradox of nihilism. The denial of objects necessarily implies an objective system: dualism. First there is an object contriving infinitely varied "caricature objects". Then there must be another object that is (infinitely) not any of those. This expression of our relationship to The Great Unknowable Reality is much saner. It doesn't overmine. It doesn't undermine. It doesn't leave me oscillating between affirmation and denial. Also, most importantly, I'm given a clue to further knowledge. I am that contriving object. This is just a caricature of reality. My participation in it's consideration is entirely arbitrary. I'm haunted by the concern that knowledge exists which cannot be captured by this freedom. But for now these objects certainly get us further than nothing. ;)
