When a bee is hit by an oncoming car, the bee may be destroyed while the car is entirely unscathed). , the bee may be drawn into the path of the truck by an enticing flower, but the truck and the flower may be entirely unrelated). This means that a real object’s sincerity in encountering a sensual object is the condition of that object’s receptivity. However, we are not causally affected by every object we experience. The phenomenal realms that real objects find themselves immersed in are filled to the brim with myriad sensual unities, many of which have no impact upon them at all.
It is also helpful to note that despite using the term ‘being’ quite extensively throughout Tool-Being, Harman never provides any generic definition or analysis of the term that goes beyond his own metaphysical account of it. If pushed to provide a quick analysis of his usage of the term, I would say that he uses it in one of two senses: (a) in the particular sense to refer to the being of a given object (cf. Tool-Being 85), or (b) in the singular sense to refer to the totality of objects (cf. , 294).
The footnotes throughout this book will reveal the full extent of this reading. I have consulted all published books and essay collections, but I have not read all of Harman’s published papers, nor any unpublished material that may be circulating. com>) rather extensively, though I have refrained from referencing them in justifying any of the substantial points in this paper, for obvious reasons. I consider this to be an eminently reasonable level of work to justify the present book, even if I cannot completely rule out the possibility that I have missed something crucial in the writings I have not read.
