On the Modern Cult of the Factish Gods Paperback - 2010
by Bruno LaTour
From the rear cover
"Bruno Latour's is a joyous and generous science, not a warmongering, invidious one. His unique intellectual trajectory beautifully replicates those strange objects he was the first fully to discern. A spontaneous reflexivity, an iconic quality of its own. For his work is eminently suitable to an actor-network treatment; it thrives on associations, it deals in mediations; it articulates heterogeneous modes of existence; it modulates its own regime of enunciation as the truth it describes changes its own conditions of production. What started as a 'social description of scientific practice' morphed into a radical redescription of the social at least as much as of science itself, and it broke into bloom as a daring project of a general anthropology of truth, within which facts and fetishes, divine forces and material forms, art and science, religion and law, all are made to inhabit a virtual plane of coexistence which we are challengingly invited to bring into actuality as our common world."--Eduardo Viveiros de Castro, Museu Nacional (Rio de Janeiro)
