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.

拉图尔的书竟然没一本是人类学的人翻译的,所以读起来很吃力,加上中国搞哲学的人文笔和理解力又都差得要命,读得人要死要死的。(相信搞哲学或者搞ssk的人读起来也一样) 其实读过《实验室生活》这本书,再来看这本,其实意思基本还是比较容易理解的。为了更好地辅助阅读,先q...

1、现代性将自身奠基于自然、社会的分裂之中,而自然、社会却是纠缠在一起的,所以应该放弃现代性的观念。 2、premodern 事物是连在一起的 modern 事物分开 postmodern 又陷入了现代性且无法批判 3、modernity就是不断purification的过程,离不开translation和transition的中...

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...

这本书很完整的揭示了现代性的产生,内部的问题,可能的批判,以及未来的方向,对西方的现代性完成了一个祛魅的过程,作者想要告诉我们的是,一个更加优越的社会并没有真正存在过,现代性在不断强调自身对自然与社会的两极区分的同时,遮蔽了两极之间的存在,也忽视了中间世界的动力作用,而事实上它同一个原始社会并没有本质上的不同,同样都是在两极的杂合中存在的。我觉得第三部分和第四部分还是挺难理解的,可能需要多看几遍。

首先他这种中学生作文式的文风着实影响阅读,其次,否认了所有先验的范畴后(且不论用不对称来概括那些范畴本身是否以偏概全),他所谓的网络也显得过于包容以至于空泛了。

近年看的最好的书之一

#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。
