Bruno Latour

Contemporary

Bruno Latour (1947-2022) was a French philosopher, anthropologist, and sociologist, a central figure in Science and Technology Studies (STS) and co-developer of Actor-Network-Theory (ANT). He challenged the nature/culture divide and the idea of scientific objectivity, arguing that facts are constructed through networks of human and non-human actors. His later work focused on the 'New Climate Regime' and the political ecology of the Anthropocene.
