Product Description
Review
["Pandora's Hope"] brims with insight, and is frequently brilliant. It does what one always hopes for, but so rarely finds, in a philosophy book; it shakes assumptions so deeply held that you hardly knew they were there. It takes the world, reshuffles it, and deals it back; the cards are all the same, but the hand is crucially different..."Pandora's Hope", and its author, demand serious attention...Latour asks jarring and important questions and proposes jarring and brilliant answers. Kafka once wrote that a good book ought to have the fearsome impact of an ice ax. "Pandora's Hope" does this. Having finished it, I am bloodied and befuddled. And I can think of no greater compliment for a book, or heartier endorsement. -- Noah J. Efron "Boston Book Review"
Product Description
Bruno Latour was once asked him: "Do you believe in reality?" This text is an attempt to answer this question. Through case studies of scientists in the Amazon analyzing soil and in Pasteur's lab studying lactic acid, he shows the steps by which physical events become scientific knowlege.
