These are the connectors that prompt a climate scientist challenged by a captain of industry to appeal to the \u003ci\u003einstitution\u003c\/i\u003e 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Magnificent...\u003ci\u003eAn Inquiry into Modes of Existence\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\"\u003cbr\u003e--Jonathan Rée, \u003ci\u003eTimes Literary Supplement\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Latour's work makes the world--sorry, worlds--interesting again.\"\u003cbr\u003e--Stephen Muecke, \u003ci\u003eLos Angeles Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"Harvard University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45032973598871,"sku":"9780674984028","price":2229.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780674984028.webp?v=1769198656","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/an-inquiry-into-modes-of-existence-an-anthropology-of-the-moderns-9780674984028","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
