We Have Never Been Modern 2025 pdf epub mobi 电子书
Is Bruno Latour a human being, or is he a God? That’s the question I ask as I flip through the pages of We Have Never Been Modern. Latour seems like a God because the network he describes does not seem to exclude anything. It is similar to a monad, simulta...
评分1、现代性将自身奠基于自然、社会的分裂之中,而自然、社会却是纠缠在一起的,所以应该放弃现代性的观念。 2、premodern 事物是连在一起的 modern 事物分开 postmodern 又陷入了现代性且无法批判 3、modernity就是不断purification的过程,离不开translation和transition的中...
评分 评分拉图尔的书竟然没一本是人类学的人翻译的,所以读起来很吃力,加上中国搞哲学的人文笔和理解力又都差得要命,读得人要死要死的。(相信搞哲学或者搞ssk的人读起来也一样) 其实读过《实验室生活》这本书,再来看这本,其实意思基本还是比较容易理解的。为了更好地辅助阅读,先q...
评分看到这本书出中文版的时候真的很兴奋,这本虽然没有“实验室生活”和“法国的巴斯德化”那么有名,却是Latour, B.哲学和社会学思想总结得很深入的一本书,也可以说是ANT转向之前最重要的一本著作。拿到书以后首先注意到了译后记,译者声称是采用了英文版和法文版对照的方式翻译...

With the rise of science, we moderns believe, the world changed irrevocably, separating us forever from our primitive, premodern ancestors. But if we were to let go of this fond conviction, Bruno Latour asks, what would the world look like? His book, an anthropology of science, shows us how much of modernity is actually a matter of faith. What does it mean to be modern? What difference does the scientific method make? The difference, Latour explains, is in our careful distinctions between nature and society, between human and thing, distinctions that our benighted ancestors, in their world of alchemy, astrology, and phrenology, never made. But alongside this purifying practice that defines modernity, there exists another seemingly contrary one: the construction of systems that mix politics, science, technology, and nature. The ozone debate is such a hybrid, in Latour's analysis, as are global warming, deforestation, even the idea of black holes. As these hybrids proliferate, the prospect of keeping nature and culture in their separate mental chambers becomes overwhelming--and rather than try, Latour suggests, we should rethink our distinctions, rethink the definition and constitution of modernity itself. His book offers a new explanation of science that finally recognizes the connections between nature and culture--and so, between our culture and others, past and present. Nothing short of a reworking of our mental landscape. "We Have Never Been Modern" blurs the boundaries among science, the humanities, and the social sciences to enhance understanding on all sides. A summation of the work of one of the most influential and provocative interpreters of science, it aims at saving what is good and valuable in modernity and replacing the rest with a broader, fairer, and finer sense of possibility.
读得想哭,真想跪在各位哲学大神面前,求求他们能不能用一句话说明白而不要写一本书。
评分首先他这种中学生作文式的文风着实影响阅读,其次,否认了所有先验的范畴后(且不论用不对称来概括那些范畴本身是否以偏概全),他所谓的网络也显得过于包容以至于空泛了。
评分为看懂这本书顺带看了布鲁尔和拉图尔的辩论,好玩得不行。布鲁尔像个失宠失势的小孩子,各种遭受误解和打击的受伤体。本来我觉得拉图尔太自以为是玩小聪明,但回应批评时他气度翩翩,一副胜利者的自在和旁若无人样。小聪明啊!装逼啊!你以为把人类学的民族志方法弄进现代科技的研究就成ANT啦。anyway,本着”人类学拯救现代知识界“,支持一把。
评分第三章开始就开始拼命和内容做斗争了,还有三四不断提到的historicity有种强烈的违和伪命题之感
评分这本书很完整的揭示了现代性的产生,内部的问题,可能的批判,以及未来的方向,对西方的现代性完成了一个祛魅的过程,作者想要告诉我们的是,一个更加优越的社会并没有真正存在过,现代性在不断强调自身对自然与社会的两极区分的同时,遮蔽了两极之间的存在,也忽视了中间世界的动力作用,而事实上它同一个原始社会并没有本质上的不同,同样都是在两极的杂合中存在的。我觉得第三部分和第四部分还是挺难理解的,可能需要多看几遍。
