Extensive profile on Bruno Latour, the French philosopher whose work helped create the science wars of the 1990s, and gave cover to those who don’t believe in objective reality.
HT @NobodysMonopoly—thank you. 1/6https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/25/magazine/bruno-latour-post-truth-philosopher-science.html …
I agree with you. Requiring people to be responsible for the abuse of their ideas stops good discussions in their tracks. But I view Latour as internally inconsistent on this front. He is trying to have it both ways, which requires not recognizing what his work actually suggests.
