French sociologist and philosopher, Bruno Latour, is one of the most significant and creative thinkers of the last decades. Bruno Latour: Hybrid Thoughts in a Hybrid World is the first comprehensive and accessible English-language introduction to this multi-faceted work. The book focuses on core Latourian themes: * contribution to science studies (STS -- Science, Technology & Society) * philosophical approach to the rise and fall of modernity * innovative thoughts on politics, nature, and ecology * contribution to the branch of sociology known as ANT -- Actor-Network Theory. With ANT, Latour has pioneered an approach to socio-cultural analysis built on the notion that social life arises in complex networks of actants -- people, things, ideas, norms, technologies, and so on -- influencing each other in dynamic ways. This book explores how Latour helps us make sense of the changing interrelations of science, technology, society, nature, and politics beyond modernity.
