French sociologist and philosopher, Bruno Latour, is one of the most significant and creative thinkers of the last decades. Bruno Latour: Hybrid Thoughts in a Hybrid World is the first comprehensive and accessible English-language introduction to this multi-faceted work. The book focuses on core Latourian themes:

? contribution to science studies (STS ? Science, Technology & Society)

? philosophical approach to the rise and fall of modernity

? innovative thoughts on politics, nature, and ecology

? contribution to the branch of sociology known as ANT ? Actor-Network Theory.

With ANT, Latour has pioneered an approach to socio-cultural analysis built on the notion that social life arises in complex networks of actants ? people, things, ideas, norms, technologies, and so on ? influencing each other in dynamic ways. This book explores how Latour helps us make sense of the changing interrelations of science, technology, society, nature, and politics beyond modernity.
