Latourian Approach

The Latourian approach, developed by sociologist Bruno Latour, emphasizes the interconnectedness of science, society, and technology. It suggests that facts are not merely discovered but constructed through social processes involving various actors, including scientists, institutions, and the public. By examining how these relationships shape knowledge, the approach challenges traditional views that separate nature from society. It highlights that understanding scientific knowledge involves looking at the networks and interactions that create and sustain it, rather than viewing science in isolation. This perspective helps us better grasp how technologies and beliefs evolve and influence one another.
