Latour, Bruno

"Every claim to universality is actually particular and partial."

"We are all implicated in the production of facts and realities."

"The future is open and contingent, not predetermined."

"We must learn new ways of composing worlds together."

"We have never been modern because we have never separated nature from culture"

"The modern world is not modern because it has failed to fully break with the past"

"Objects are never simply given; they are always constructed through networks of relations"

"To understand the world, we must follow the actors and their associations"

"Purification is the obsession of modernity, yet it produces hybrids everywhere"

"The social is not a type of thing; it is a type of connection between things"

"We cannot understand nature without understanding culture, and vice versa"

"Facts are not discovered; they are constructed through collective experimentation"

"The laboratory does not capture nature; it produces a particular version of it"

"Politics is not about consensus; it is about making visible what remains hidden"

"Technology is never neutral; it carries values and assumptions within its design"

"We must learn to read the scripts written into our material objects"

"Science studies reveals that scientists are not discovering truth but constructing it"

"The world is populated by quasi-objects that blur the line between nature and culture"

"Modernity promised to separate the sacred from the profane, yet this division is impossible"

"To be modern is to believe in the impossible separation of politics and nature"

"Networks are the true substance of our world, not individuals or societies"

"We must abandon the search for foundations and embrace relationality instead"

"The real is what circulates through networks, not what exists independently"

"Hybrid entities are not exceptions; they are the norm in our world"

"To understand innovation, we must follow how actors transform each other"

"The past is not behind us; it is continuously reconstructed through present practice"

"Objects participate in social relations; they are not mere backdrops to human action"

"We live in an age of proliferating mediators that translate between different worlds"

"Responsibility means tracing the connections that bind us to others"

"The modernist dream of pure nature and pure culture has created ecological crisis"
