Works of Bruno Latour

Bruno Latour was a French philosopher and sociologist known for analyzing how science and technology influence society. His work explores how scientific facts aren't just discovered but are constructed through intricate networks involving researchers, institutions, and materials. He introduced concepts like "actor-network theory," which views both humans and non-human elements (like machines or texts) as active participants shaping knowledge and social outcomes. Latour's ideas help us understand the complex process by which scientific knowledge is created and how technology entwines with social life, emphasizing that both influence and reshape each other in dynamic ways.
