"With the rise of science, we moderns believe, the world changed irrevocably, separating us forever from our primitive, premodern ancestors. But if we were to let go of this fond conviction, Bruno Latour asks, what would the world look like? His book, an anthropology of science, shows us how much of modernity is actually a matter of faith. What does it mean to be modern? What difference does the scientific method make? The difference, La ..."
Down to Earth(1st Edition) Politics in the New Climatic Regime by BrunoLatour, Catherine Porter Paperback, 140 Pages, Published 2018 by Polity ISBN-13: 978-1-5095-3057-1, ISBN: 1-5095-3057-6
"The present ecological mutation has organized the whole political landscape for the last thirty years. This could explain the deadly cocktail of exploding inequalities, massive deregulation, and conversion of the dream of globalization into a nightmare for most people. What holds these three phenomena together is the conviction, shared by some powerful people, that the ecological threat is real and that the only way for them to survive ..."
Reassembling the Social(1st Edition) An Introduction to Actor-Network-Theory (Clarendon Lectures in Management Studies) by BrunoLatour Paperback, 320 Pages, Published 2007 by Oxford University Press ISBN-13: 978-0-19-925605-1, ISBN: 0-19-925605-5
"Reassembling the Social is a fundamental challenge from one of the world's leading social theorists to how we understand society and the 'social'. Bruno Latour's contention is that the word 'social', as used by Social Scientists, has become laden with assumptions to the point where it has become misnomer. When the adjective is applied to a phenomenon, it is used to indicate a stablilized state of affairs, a bundle of ties that in due c ..."
"How can economics become genuinely quantitative? This is the question that French sociologist Gabriel Tarde tackled at the end of his career, and in this pamphlet, Bruno Latour and Vincent Antonin Lepinay offer a lively introduction to the work of that forgotten genius of nineteenth-century social thought. Tarde's solution was in total contradiction to the dominant views of his time: to quantify the connections between people and goods, ..."
Critical Zones Observatories for Earthly Politics by BrunoLatour, Peter Weibel Hardcover, 560 Pages, Published 2020 by The Mit Press ISBN-13: 978-0-262-04445-5, ISBN: 0-262-04445-5
"Artists and writers portray the disorientation of a world facing climate change.This monumental volume, drawn from a 2020 exhibition at the ZKM Center for Art and Media, portrays the disorientation of life in world facing climate change. It traces this disorientation to the disconnection between two different definitions of the land on which modernizing humans live: the sovereign nation from which they derive their rights, and another o ..."
"Frankenstein's monster was born of human endeavour and 19th-century ignominious end but provided many lessons during his 24 years of plans and prototypes. Aramis, the guided-transportation system intended for Paris, represented a major advance in "personal rapid transit" - a system that combined the efficiency of a subway with the flexibility of the private automobile. But in the end, the system of electronic couplings proved too comple ..."
Science in Action(Reprint) How to Follow Scientists and Engineers Through Society by BrunoLatour Paperback, 288 Pages, Published 1988 by Harvard University Press ISBN-13: 978-0-674-79291-3, ISBN: 0-674-79291-2
" Science and technology have immense authority and influence in our society, yet their working remains little understood. The conventional perception of science in Western societies has been modified in recent years by the work of philosophers, sociologists and historians of science. In this book Bruno Latour brings together these different approaches to provide a lively and challenging analysis of science, demonstrating how social con ..."
Pandora's Hope(1st Edition) Essays on the Reality of Science Studies by BrunoLatour Paperback, 336 Pages, Published 1999 by Harvard University Press ISBN-13: 978-0-674-65336-8, ISBN: 0-674-65336-X
" A scientist friend asked Bruno Latour point-blank: "Do you believe in reality?" Taken aback by this strange query, Latour offers his meticulous response in Pandora's Hope. It is a remarkable argument for understanding the reality of science in practical terms. In this book Latour, identified by Richard Rorty as the new "bête noire of the science worshipers," gives us his most philosophically informed book since Science in Action. Thr ..."
"Over the past twenty-five years, Bruno Latour has developed a research protocol different from the actor-network theory with which his name is now associated--a research protocol that follows the different types of connectors that provide specific truth conditions. These are the connectors that prompt a climate scientist challenged by a captain of industry to appeal to the institution of science, with its army of researchers and mountai ..."
Facing Gaia(1st Edition) Eight Lectures on the New Climatic Regime by BrunoLatour, Catherine Porter Paperback, 300 Pages, Published 2017 by Polity ISBN-13: 978-0-7456-8434-5, ISBN: 0-7456-8434-3
"The emergence of modern sciences in the seventeenth century profoundly renewed our understanding of nature. For the last three centuries new ideas of nature have been continually developed by theology, politics, economics, and science, especially the sciences of the material world. The situation is even more unstable today, now that we have entered an ecological mutation of unprecedented scale. Some call it the Anthropocene, but it is ..."
Rejoicing(1st Edition) Or the Torments of Religious Speech by BrunoLatour, Julie Rose Paperback, 200 Pages, Published 2013 by Polity ISBN-13: 978-0-7456-6007-3, ISBN: 0-7456-6007-X
"Bruno Latour s long term project is to compare the felicity and infelicity conditions of the different values dearest to the heart of those who have never been modern . According to him, this is the only way to develop an anthropology of the Moderns. After his work on science, on technology and, more recently, on law, this book explores the truth conditions of religious speech acts. Even though there is no question that relig ..."

" What can one man accomplish, even a great man and brilliant scientist? Although every town in France has a street named for Pasteur, was he alone able to stop people from spitting, persuade them to dig drains, influence them to undergo vaccination? Pasteur's success depended upon a whole network of forces, including the public hygiene movement, the medical profession (both military physicians and private practitioners), and colonial i ..."
"Modernity has had so many meanings and combines so many contradictory sets of attitudes and values that it has become impossible to use it to define the future. It crashes like an overloaded computer. Hence the idea is that modernity might need a sort of reset. Not a clean break, not a "tabula rasa," not another iconoclastic gesture, but rather a restart of the c ..."
"In this new book, Bruno Latour offers answers to questions raised in "We Have Never Been Modern, "a work that interrogated the connections between nature and culture. If not modern, he asked, what "have" we been, and what values should we inherit? Over the past twenty-five years, Latour has developed a research protocol different from the actor-network theory with which his name is now associated--a research protocol that follows the di ..."
""On the Modern Cult of the Factish Gods" continues the project that the influential anthropologist, philosopher, and science studies theorist Bruno Latour advanced in his book "We Have Never Been Modern." There he redescribed the Enlightenment idea of universal scientific truth, arguing that there are no facts separable from their fabrication. In this concise work, Latour delves into the "belief in naive belief," the suggestion that fet ..."
