Bogost on firehose materialism

Ian now responds to Steven Shaviro, HERE.

My favorite part of Ian’s post is probably the final sentence:

“…the fundamental dispute between OOO and process philosophy is a legitimate philosophical disagreement, not just a failure to communicate or understand.”

Levi made roughly the same point in his own post. The problem cannot be reduced to claiming that one side is misunderstanding Whitehead. No, there’s an actual philosophical disagreement at work.

Incidentally, I should also add that Steven’s posts are always welcome, since they stay on topic.
