• In the case of Deleuze’s studies of figures such as Hume, Spinoza, Nietzsche, Bergson, Leibniz, and Foucault, it’s often noted that it’s impossible to determine who is speaking.  Is this Leibniz or is it Deleuze?  Leibniz becomes something that is other than Leibniz in his encounter with Deleuze while remaining Leibniz.  Something similar seems to take place in Harman’s studies.  Is this Heidegger or Harman?  Is it Lovecraft or Harman?  Is it Latour or Harman?  Continental philosophy in the Anglo world has often been defined by a rut of commentary.  I think this methodology of writing, this way of really encountering a text– perhaps a form of what Harman elsewhere analyzes under the titles of metaphor and mimesis in the context of aesthetics –is both the most productive form of commentary and the finest strategy for escaping the rut of commentary in the Continental tradition.  As he argues with respect to Ortega y Gasset’s theory of metaphor, when the reader encounters a sentence such as “the tree is like a flame”, it is not that the poet is imitating the tree, but rather that the reader is invited to become the tree.  Something like this is at work in Harman’s generous readings of other thinkers.
