  Hi, I have to say that this issue is very important. I think that any philosophy that wants to deal with ethics and with politics needs to embrace the question “who” and the question “how”, so to let its ontological departure grasp its own ethical status. So who is doing philosophy and how this philosophy is done? What is the ethical status of an ontology and how does this ethical status affects or should affect the philosopher that is formulating it? In the case of any philosophy: would not this ethical status affect the philosopher in the way that it shall be also an applied criteria to who is coining it, and in the sense to let him/her exercise a healthy objectivification of his/her practice, the practice that is actually giving birth to such an ontology? Regarding to the quote that points out to “the claim that questions of ontology are distinct from questions of politics”, and despite it also affirms that such a claim “is not equivalent to a rejection of politics”, i truly think that this statement of distinction should be also questioned by the one who is doing philosophy and that is coining an ontology that hopefully will be further referenced on his/her behalf, mostly if such ontology is pretending to introduce and not avoid the ethical status it implies at the end of the day. To my mind, any ontology that wants to introduce the ethical question and that may want to deal with the questions of politics, in order to not to fall into a naive statements, should start to question this ontological distinction, as this distinction is all the way concerned to these questions as well. In the original post written by Levi Bryant and that is linked here, I made a critical comment regarding to this specific issue, pointing out how Levi falls into this kind of ontological naivety. While the comment was frontal, frank, and with no harsh, unfortunately, Levi decided not to publish it as he meant to take it personal, even though i begged him not to take it like that. Obviously, the comment was certainly criticizing and pointing out, from a perfectly exposed bourdieuan point of view, to the lack objectivification of his practice as a philosopher that proposes (not without a bit of irony to my taste) an object oriented ontology (OOO). So Fabio, just to show how these kind of issues are indeed related to ethical and political struggles (in this case, the unpublished comment is the perfect example of it) I would like to have your permission to post my comment in this section, as it is worth to do so and to read regarding to the issues your are posing here. Anyway i will understand if you consider that it is not the case to go that far. cheers
