Certain great friendships have left their mark in the annals of
philosophy – and, without a doubt, the friendship of Bruno Latour
and Isabelle Stengers is among them. Although they wrote very few
texts together, their intellectual companionship lasted for over
thirty years, and their respective work can be fully understood only
when the many interconnections of their thought are brought to the
fore.
Latour and Stengers occupy the same starting place, one which remains
at the heart of their work: scientific practice, which is the pride of
modernity. Why do we Moderns define ourselves as those who know, while
others are condemned to be only believers? This question led Latour
and Stengers to the same fundamental question: how to understand and
live in what Latour calls "the new climatic regime” and what
Stengers calls “catastrophic times"?
Philippe Pignarre's aim is not to try to sort out which ideas belong
to whom but rather to interweave their thought even more. In so doing,
he sheds new light on the origins and development of their work at the
same time as he documents an exceptional intellectual adventure
between two of the leading thinkers of our age.
