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 Ree, Times Literary Supplement "Latour's
work makes the world-sorry, worlds-interesting again." -Stephen
Muecke, Los Angeles Review of Books
