In a series of televised interviews in spring 2022, Bruno Latour
explained, in clear and straightforward terms, how humans have
changed the planet and why environmental disasters are an intrinsic
part of modern life. We have now come to realize that all
life depends on a thin skin of our planet that is only few
kilometres thick – what scientists call the ‘critical
zone’. Our capacity to continue to live on a planet we are
transforming is now at risk and if we wish to survive as a species,
we must put an end to the mechanisms of destruction, rethink our
connection to living beings and face head-on the confrontation
between the extractivists who are exploiting the Earth’s
resources and the ecologists. This poignant reflection on
the greatest challenge of our time is also an opportunity for
Latour to explain the underlying thread that guided his work
throughout his career, from his pathbreaking research on the social
construction of scientific knowledge to his last writings on the
Anthropocene.
