Summary:

This book is the first treatment of Bruno Latour specifically as a philosopher. Part One covers four key works in Latour's career in metaphysics: Irreductions, Science in Action, We Have Never Been Modern, and Pandora's Hope. In Part Two, the author identifies Latour's key contributions to ontology, while criticizing his focus on the relational character of actors at the expense of their autonomous reality.
