Bruno Latour, the French sociologist, anthropologist and
long-established superstar in the social sciences is revisited in
this pioneering account of his ever-evolving political philosophy.
Breaking from the traditional focus on his metaphysics, most
recently seen in Harman's book Prince of Networks, the author
instead begins with the Hobbesian and even Machiavellian
underpinnings of Latour's early period encountering his shift
towards Carl Schmitt then finishing with his final development into
the Lippmann / Dewey debate. Harman brings these twists and turns
into sharp focus in terms of Latour's personal political thinking.
Along with Latour's most important articles on political themes,
the book chooses three works as exemplary of the distinct periods
in Latour's thinking: The Pasteurization of France, Politics of
Nature, and the recently published An Inquiry Into Modes of
Existence, as his conception of politics evolves from a global
power struggle between individuals, to the fabrication of fragile
parliamentary networks, to just one mode of existence among many
others.
