  • "This book is the first treatment of Bruno Latour specifically as a philosopher. Part One covers four key works in Latour's career in metaphysics: Irreductions, Science in Action, We Have Never Been Modern, and Pandora's Hope. In Part Two, the author identifies Latour's key contributions to ontology, while criticizing his focus on the relational character of actors at the expense of their autonomous reality."
  • ""Prince of Networks is the first treatment of Bruno Latour specifically as a philosopher. Part One covers four key works that display Latours underrated contributions to metaphysics: Irreductions, Science in Action, We Have Never Been Modern, and Pandoras Hope. Harman contends that Latour is one of the central figures of contemporary philosophy, with a highly original ontology centered in four key concepts: actants, irreduction, translation, and alliance. In Part Two, Harman summarizes Latours most important philosophical insights, including his status as the first secular occasionalist. Working from his own object-oriented perspective, Harman also criticizes the Latourian focus on the relational character of actors at the expense of their cryptic autonomous reality. This book forms a remarkable interface between Latours Actor-Network Theory and the Speculative Realism of Harman and his confederates."--Book cover."
