Timothy Morton is a philosopher whose work stands at the intersection of contemporary post-anthropocentric philosophy and environmental studies. They are one of the key figures of so-called object-oriented ontology, which, among other things, breaks down traditional boundaries between the human and non-human worlds and hierarchies of being. They are a long-time professor at Rice University in Texas and they write on art, popular culture, and literature in addition to ecology or philosophy. They have published over 20 books that have spawned a number of influential concepts, including Being Ecological, Hyperobjects, Dark Ecology, and Ecology Without Nature. Their work meanders between academic philosophy and popular essayism, and they have collaborated with Björk, Pharrell Williams and Olafur Eliasson.
