“Was not their mistake once more bred of the life of slavery that they had been living?—a life which was always looking upon everything, except mankind, animate and inanimate—‘nature,’ as people used to call it—as one thing, and mankind as another, it was natural to people thinking in this way, that they should try to make ‘nature’ their slave, since they thought ‘nature’ was something outside them” — William Morris

I really enjoyed this talk on Milton. It connected the iconoclasm of Milton and the Puritans to Latour's idea of irreducibility and OOO. "The book is flesh" begins to say the book is an irreducible object. It also brings up the larger role of iconoclasm in OOO, and suggests why Islamic thought tends to resonate.
