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 ..."

Observatories for Earthly Politics
by Bruno Latour, 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 ..."






An Inquiry into Modes of Existence(Reprint)
An Anthropology of the Moderns
by Bruno Latour, Catherine Porter
Paperback, 520 Pages, Published 2018 by Harvard University Press
ISBN-13: 978-0-674-98402-8, ISBN: 0-674-98402-1

"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 ..."






Reassembling the Social(1st Edition)
An Introduction to Actor-Network-Theory (Clarendon Lectures in Management Studies)
by Bruno Latour
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 ..."






We Have Never Been Modern(1st Edition)
by Bruno Latour, Catherine Porter
Paperback, 168 Pages, Published 1993 by Harvard University Press
ISBN-13: 978-0-674-94839-6, ISBN: 0-674-94839-4

"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 ..."

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 ..."






The Science of Passionate Interests
An Introduction to Gabriel Tarde's Economic Anthropology
by Bruno Latour, Vincent Antonin Lepinay
Paperback, 100 Pages, Published 2010 by Prickly Paradigm Press
ISBN-13: 978-0-9794057-7-8, ISBN: 0-9794057-7-7

"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, ..."






Pandora's Hope(1st Edition)
Essays on the Reality of Science Studies
by Bruno Latour
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 ..."

Paperback, 336 Pages, Published 1996 by Harvard University Press
ISBN-13: 978-0-674-04323-7, ISBN: 0-674-04323-5

"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 ..."

"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.

""... an original, quirky, and illuminating collection of material concerning the relatively new and exciting field of technoscience studies.... [T]he editors' choice of multiple approaches to the work of four major figures is wholly suited to clarifying their unorthodox and consequently somewhat elusive philosophical positions." -- Robert ScharffAlthough often ..."






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: 978-1-941332-46-7, ISBN: 1-941332-46-3

" "In a prodigious inversion of Plato's Allegory of the Cave, May brings us all back into the darkness, where we are occupied looking at screens, except now there is no way to go from the appearances to their hidden reality...The message from the Cloud is clear: 'Thou shall get only images.'" --Bruno Latour (from the Foreword)  Architecture today is immersed in an immense cultural experiment called imaging. We can feel our images ..."






Reset Modernity!
(The MIT Press)
by Bruno Latour, Christophe Leclercq, Director Bruno Latour, Chris Bernhardt, Reset Modernity!
Hardcover, 432 Pages, Published 2016 by The Mit Press
ISBN-13: 978-0-262-03459-3, ISBN: 0-262-03459-X

"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 ..."

Hardcover, 200 Pages, Published 2013 by Polity
ISBN-13: 978-0-7456-6006-6, ISBN: 0-7456-6006-1

"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 religion is o ..."
