Abstract The ontological abyss that separates real objects from sensual objects is one of the central principles of Object-Oriented Ontology (OOO), which has its most explicit and profuse modulation in Timothy Morton’s notion of rift. This article argues that, despite succeeding in explaining the radical difference that inhabits every object, Morton’s rift fails to explain the object’s unification, rendering the overall theory inconsistent. An alternative approach that accounts simultaneously for disjunction and conjunction between essences and appearances can be found in Eugenio Trías’s philosophy of the limit, a term widely ignored in OOO despite its deeply non-relational conception of the reality of things. The article further argues that the reinterpretation of Trías’s twofold liminal approach in light of OOO successfully addresses the inconsistencies found in Morton’s rift, paving the way for a theory of limits within Harman’s ontological framework.

物体的双重极限：根据欧金尼奥·特里亚斯（EugenioTrías）的极限概念，对蒂莫西·莫顿的裂痕提出质疑

摘要区分真实对象与感官对象的本体深渊是面向对象本体论（OOO）的中心原则之一，它在蒂莫西·莫顿（Timothy Morton）的裂痕概念中具有最明确，最广泛的调制方式。本文认为，尽管成功地解释了存在于每个物体上的根本差异，但莫顿的裂痕未能解释物体的统一性，从而使总体理论不一致。在欧金尼奥·特里亚斯（EugenioTrías）的极限哲学中，可以找到一种同时解决本质与外观之间的脱节和结合的替代方法，尽管它对事物的真实性没有很深的了解，但这个术语在OOO中却被广泛忽略。
