Abstract
This article seeks to contest the hold exerted by the OOO/ANT/NM axis on contemporary art. It does so in order to pursue a theory that might aid the decolonisation of nature. This includes providing resources for a strong defence against post-truth ideology. OOO, et al. are problematic to the extent that their Anti-rational-anthropocentrism results in contradiction and political debilitation, including an inability to contest post-truth demagogy. My theory is instead indebted to Ray Brassier and Peter Wolfendale, an Inhumanism that retains a position for wo/man’s exceptional rational-capacity. I read Pierre Huyghe’s After ALife Ahead as bearing this Inhumanism.
