We Have Never Been Modern

Bruno Latour

Explore the concept of modernity with Bruno Latour's thought-provoking book. With an anthropology of science approach, Latour questions our belief that the rise of science has irreversibly separated us from our premodern ancestors. He argues that much of modernity is a matter of faith, and that our careful distinctions between nature and society, human and thing, are defining features of modernity. Latour suggests we should rethink our distinctions in light of the hybrids that mix politics, science, technology, and nature. We Have Never Been Modern blurs the boundaries among science, humanities, and social sciences, offering a new understanding of science that recognizes the connections between nature and culture.
