Bruno Latour
“The world is not a solid continent of facts sprinkled by a few lakes of uncertainties, but a vast ocean of uncertainties speckled by a few islands of calibrated and stabilized forms”
Bruno Latour, Reassembling the Social: An Introduction to Actor-Network-Theory

Bruno Latour
“You who are on the inside, this world terrifies you because, according to you, it’s ‘without a divine master’. But don’t you see that it’s also without a human master? You who are on the outside, this call for renewal of ‘God’ horrifies you because, according to you, it would bring back the old tyranny of the divine. Don’t you see that this world is forever without a creator?”
Bruno Latour, Rejoicing: Or the Torments of Religious Speech

Bruno Latour
“My kingdom for a more embodied body”
Bruno Latour

Bruno Latour
“Machines are the concealed wishes of actants which have tamed forces so effectively that they no longer look like forces”

Bruno Latour
“I have sought to offer humanists a detailed analysis of a technology sufficiently magnificent and spiritual to convince them that the machines by which they are surrounded are cultural artifacts worthy of their attention and respect.”
Bruno Latour, Aramis, or The Love of Technology
