Ep. 230: Bruno Latour on Science, Culture, and Modernity (Part One)

from The Partially Examined Life Philosophy Podcast · host Mark Linsenmayer

On Latour's We Have Never Been Modern (1993) with guest Lynda Olman. What's the "modern" ideology of science, and is there something we should critique about it? Latour wants us to think about science not abstractly through the eternal truths it supposedly discovers, but through the concrete practices of scientists. He investigates the Modern Constitution by which science and politics are kept conceptually separate, a myth that he claims we've never fully bought into. Please support PEL!
