Vital materialists will thus try to linger in those moments during which they find themselves fascinated by objects, taking them as clues to the material vitality that they share with them. This sense of a strange and incomplete commonality with the out-side may induce vital materialists to treat nonhumans-animals, plants, earth, even artifacts and commodities - more carefully, more strategically, more ecologically.
