is concerned with releasing the anthropocentric copyright control on who or what gets to be a correlator (a decider of reality), rather than regressing to pre-Kantian essentialism.

One view to which I adhere is object-oriented ontology, or OOO. I have described already its basic move of releasing the anthropocentric copyright control on who or what gets to be a correlator, rather than regressing to pre-Kantian essentialism.

is guided by the idea that “the whole is always smaller than its parts.” That is, an entity contains a potentially infinite regress of other entities, and thus, is literally out-scaled by its parts. It is bigger on the inside, like Pandora’s jar.

Adherents of OOO hold that an entity contains a potentially infinite regress of other entities. The entity is literally out-scaled by its parts. It is bigger on the inside, like Pandora’s jar. Which means, logically, that it’s smaller on the outside, so that, however absurd and amazing it sounds, we need to say “the whole is always smaller than the sum of its parts.”
