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, Latour explains, is in our careful distinctions between nature and society, between human and thing, distinctions that our benighted ancestors, in their world of alchemy, astrology, and phrenology, never made. But alongside this purifying practice that defines modernity, there exists another seemingly contrary one: the construction of systems that mix politics, science, technology, and nature. The ozone debate is such a hybrid, in Latour's analysis, as are global warming, deforestation, even the idea of black holes. As these hybrids proliferate, the prospect of keeping nature and culture in their separate mental chambers becomes overwhelming--and rather than try, Latour suggests, we should rethink our distinctions, rethink the definition and constitution of modernity itself. His book offers a new explanation of science that finally recognizes the connections between nature and culture--and so, between our culture and others, past and present. Nothing short of a reworking of our mental landscape. "We Have Never Been Modern" blurs the boundaries among science, the humanities, and the social sciences to enhance understanding on all sides. A summation of the work of one of the most influential and provocative interpreters of science, it aims at saving what is good and valuable in modernity and replacing the rest with a broader, fairer, and finer sense of possibility.

Is Bruno Latour a human being, or is he a God? That’s the question I ask as I flip through the pages of We Have Never Been Modern. Latour seems like a God because the network he describes does not seem to exclude anything. It is similar to a monad, simulta...

看到这本书出中文版的时候真的很兴奋,这本虽然没有“实验室生活”和“法国的巴斯德化”那么有名,却是Latour, B.哲学和社会学思想总结得很深入的一本书,也可以说是ANT转向之前最重要的一本著作。拿到书以后首先注意到了译后记,译者声称是采用了英文版和法文版对照的方式翻译...

为看懂这本书顺带看了布鲁尔和拉图尔的辩论,好玩得不行。布鲁尔像个失宠失势的小孩子,各种遭受误解和打击的受伤体。本来我觉得拉图尔太自以为是玩小聪明,但回应批评时他气度翩翩,一副胜利者的自在和旁若无人样。小聪明啊!装逼啊!你以为把人类学的民族志方法弄进现代科技的研究就成ANT啦。anyway,本着”人类学拯救现代知识界“,支持一把。

好难读...

#society as a unity的想法咋觉得还比较接近Durkheim呢?虽然Latour一直是以批判Durkheim自居的。这书提出的那个关于modernity的 utopia project也值得玩味。
