description The aim of this essay is to show the sense and the limits of some of the contemporary critiques of the idea of the world. It will be structured as follows: in a first paragraph, we will show the conceptual structure of these critiques as they take shape in Object Oriented Ontology (OOO), especially in Timothy Morton's work, Hyperobjects. In a second, we will focus on the two main difficulties that such critical work encounters. In a third, finally, we will show the possibilities, aesthetic and political, of a revisited concept of world.
