In a series of televised interviews broadcast in spring 2022, Bruno
Latour explained, in clear and straightforward terms, how humans have
changed the planet and why environmental disasters are an intrinsic
part of modern life. We have now come to realize that all life depends
on a thin skin of our planet that is only few kilometres thick - what
scientists call the ‘critical zone’. Our capacity to continue to
live on a planet we are transforming is now at risk and if we wish to
survive as a species, we must put an end to the mechanisms of
destruction, rethink our connection to living beings, and face head-on
the confrontation between the extractivists who are exploiting the
Earth’s resources and the ecologists.
This poignant reflection on the greatest challenge of our time was
also an opportunity for Latour to explain the underlying thread that
guided his work throughout his career, from his pathbreaking research
on the social construction of scientific knowledge to his last
writings on the Anthropocene.
