{"product_id":"9780674984028","title":"An Inquiry into Modes of Existence : An Anthropology of the Moderns by Bruno Latour","description":"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 mountains of data, rather than to \"capital-S Science\" as a higher authority. Such modes of extension-or modes of existence, Latour argues here-account for the many differences between law, science, politics, and other domains of knowledge.   \"Magnificent.An Inquiry into Modes of Existence shows that [Latour] has lost none of his astonishing fertility as a thinker, or his skill and wit as a writer.Latour's main message-that rationality is `woven from more than one thread'-is intended not just for the academic seminar, but for the public square-and the public square today is global as never before.\"-Jonathan R?e, Times Literary Supplement\"Latour's work makes the world-sorry, worlds-interesting again.\"-Stephen Muecke, Los Angeles Review of Books\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56294264930677,"sku":"9780674984028","price":25.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780674984028.jpg?v=1762762847","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9780674984028","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
