摘要:
Bruno Latour is one of the key thinkers in actor-network theory. Although his conception is sociological, the author of We Have Never Been Modern takes into consideration theses which are interesting from a philosophical point of view. The aim of the article is to interpret Latour's writings as a sign of the symbolic "end" of postmodernism in philosophy. "End" does not mean that postmodernism - whatever it was - is literally over. Rather, the French sociologist shows the limitations of the postmodern way of thinking. Latour argues against three attitudes which are characteristic of postmodernist stances: (1) social or cultural constructivism, (2) total criticism of the ideas which are generally accepted in our culture and (3) radical epistemological skepticism.
