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 ..."

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 ..."

Hardcover, 520 Pages, Published 2013 by Harvard University Press
ISBN-13: 978-0-674-72499-0, ISBN: 0-674-72499-2

"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 ..."






Politics of Nature(1st Edition)
How to Bring the Sciences into Democracy
by Bruno Latour, Catherine Porter
Paperback, 320 Pages, Published 2004 by Harvard University Press
ISBN-13: 978-0-674-01347-6, ISBN: 0-674-01347-6

" A major work by one of the more innovative thinkers of our time, Politics of Nature does nothing less than establish the conceptual context for political ecology--transplanting the terms of ecology into more fertile philosophical soil than its proponents have thus far envisioned. Bruno Latour announces his project dramatically: "Political ecology has nothing whatsoever to do with nature, this jumble of Greek philosophy, French Cartesi ..."






War of the Worlds(1st Edition)
What about Peace?
by Bruno Latour, John Tresch, Charlotte Bigg
Paperback, 64 Pages, Published 2002 by Prickly Paradigm Press
ISBN-13: 978-0-9717575-1-6, ISBN: 0-9717575-1-8

"Bruno Latour is best known for his work in the cultural study of science. In this pamphlet he turns his attention to another worthy pursuit: the project of peace. As one might expect, Latour gives us a radically different picture of this project than Kant or the philosophes, asserting that the West has been in a constant state of war both with other cultures and its own--although unwittingly so. Read through the lens of his trademark ta ..."

ISBN-13: 978-0-674-65761-8, ISBN: 0-674-65761-6

" 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 ..."

Hardcover, 1,072 Pages, Published 2005 by The Mit Press
ISBN-13: 978-0-262-12279-5, ISBN: 0-262-12279-0

"In this groundbreaking editorial and curatorial project, more than 100 writers, artists, and philosophers rethink what politics is about. In a time of political turmoil and anticlimax, this book redefines politics as operating in the realm of things. Politics is not just an arena, a profession, or a system, but a concern for things brought to the attention of the fluid and expansive constituency of the public. But how are things made pu ..."

"Your people might be your organization’s greatest assets, but their interactions with one another are what determine the quality and the quantity of their contributions. Too many neglect this basic truth and fail to create the sense of excitement, energy, and shared mission that occurs when people truly join together.In this concise, engaging book, Judith Katz and Fred Miller describe four deceptively simple behavioral guidelines that f ..."






Reassembling the Social(1st Edition)
An Introduction to Actor-Network-Theory (Clarendon Lectures in Management Studies)
by Bruno Latour
Hardcover, 312 Pages, Published 2005 by Oxford University Press
ISBN-13: 978-0-19-925604-4, ISBN: 0-19-925604-7

"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 co ..."

Hardcover, 140 Pages, Published 2018 by Polity
ISBN-13: 978-1-5095-3056-4, ISBN: 1-5095-3056-8

"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 ..."

"Critical analyses, case studies, and artist interviews examine works of art that are realized with the physical involvement of the viewer. How are we to understand works of art that are realized with the physical involvement of the viewer? A relationship between a work of art and its audience that is rooted in an experience that is both aesthetic and physical? Today, these works often use digital technologies, but artists have created p ..."

Operations(1st Edition)
by Sophie Ristelhueber, Bruno Latour, David Mellor, Thomas Schlesser, Risterhuber Sophie
Hardcover, 448 Pages, Published 2009 by Thames & Hudson Ltd
ISBN-13: 978-0-500-09349-8, ISBN: 0-500-09349-0

"In Sophie Ristelhueber's large-scale artworks and installations, the photographed landscape appears in fragments: damaged, rent, pockmarked. These traces of history and conflict, which the artist calls details of the world, are like scars on a body, and they convey a similar tale of wounds scarcely healed. Ristelhueber has photographed these metaphorical landscapes in war-torn places like Beirut, Kuwait, Bosnia and Iraq since 1982, reco ..."

Thinking with Whitehead(1st Edition)
A Free and Wild Creation of Concepts

Hardcover, 554 Pages, Published 2011 by Harvard University Press
ISBN-13: 978-0-674-04803-4, ISBN: 0-674-04803-2

"Alfred North Whitehead has never gone out of print, but for a time he was decidedly out of fashion in the English-speaking world. In a splendid work that serves as both introduction and erudite commentary, Isabelle Stengers--one of today's leading philosophers of science--goes straight to the beating heart of Whitehead's thought. The product of thirty years' engagement with the mathematician-philosopher's entire canon, this volume estab ..."






We Have Never Been Modern(1st Edition)

Import
ISBN-13: 978-0-7450-1321-3, ISBN: 0-7450-1321-X

"What makes us modern? This is a classic question in philosophy as well as in political science. However it is often raised without including science and technology in its definition. The argument of this book is that we are modern as long as we split our political process in two - between politics proper, and science and technology. This division allows the formidable expansion of the Western empires. However it has become more and more ..."
