Change the instruments and you will change the entire social theory that goes with them
Bruno LatourIf one looks at the works of Newton to Einstein, they were never scientists in the way modernity understands the term.
Bruno LatourScience does not enter a chaotic society to put order into it anymore, to simplify its composition, and to put an end to controversies. It does enter it, but to add new uncertain ingredients... to all the other ingredients that make up the collective experiments. When scientists add their findings to the mix, they do not put an end to politics; they add new ingredients to the collective process.
