Ontology is the philosophical study of existence. Object-oriented ontology ("OOO" for short) puts things at the center of this study. Its proponents contend that nothing has special status, but that everything exists equally—plumbers, cotton, bonobos, DVD players, and sandstone, for example. In contemporary thought, things are usually taken either as the aggregation of ever smaller bits (scientific naturalism) or as constructions of human behavior and society (social relativism). OOO steers a path between the two, drawing attention to things at all scales (from atoms to alpacas, bits to blinis), and pondering their nature and relations with one another as much with ourselves.

"Triumph for Giacomo Puccini who manages to put 3 of his works in the top four. Efficiency and flair are indeed awarded the grand prize. This result could be debated at length; however, wouldn't it be the way to demonstrate that in order to succeed within the widest international repertory possible, the least common denominator is needed? The second prize goes to Giuseppe Verdi, who even passes his fellow countryman in terms of number of operas produced."
