Description

Bruno Latour's latest work offers a unique approach to understanding the complexities of religious speech. In this book, he seeks to develop an anthropology of modernity by exploring the truth conditions of religious acts. Latour argues that the difficulties in speaking about religion are rooted in its specific mode of enunciation, which can sound awkward or empty when attempted to be expressed in modern terms. To address this challenge, Latour proposes a new way of writing that brings to the forefront the elusive form of speech at the heart of religious discourse. This book represents an alternative perspective on the long-standing debate between science and religion, one that seeks to protect both from the confusion with the notion of information.
