FAQ About Bruno Latour

What did Bruno Latour mean by saying "We have never been modern"?
In his book "We Have Never Been Modern", Bruno Latour argued that the distinction between modern and pre-modern understanding of the world is flawed. He claimed that the separation of nature from culture is a relatively new construct and that humans have always interacted with non-human entities in complex ways. Latour's argument suggests that modernity's sense of progress and separation from the past is an illusion, as these intricate interactions have always existed.
