The greatest of Latour’s lesser read works. If you want a concrete example of how to time is a practice, this is an important text. It is far more personal than his more well known works. His commitment to religion as a mode of non-Modern existence is unfolded in this compelling book.
Modernity didn’t just apply technologies of measuring time at more minute levels. Modernity and time measurement are bound together much more intimately.
A highly accessible version of Facing Gaia. For me it is the classic statement of how the accumulation of wealth has become the latest expression of Gnosticism.
A very accessible understanding of how Modernity emerges out of the late Middle Ages as a desire for “certainties” arising out of the conflicts and terrors of the European violence of the seventeenth century.
A lesser known work of Latour’s that shouldn’t be. A very personal and remarkable understanding of what it means to be non-Modern and religious at the same time.
