Latour’s metaphysical turn

Apart from keeping you updated on future events; I also want to make use of this blog to highlight some recent articles, which might be of interest to the readers. The first one is a very lucid written article on Bruno Latour’s turn to metaphysics by Patrice Maniglier. In my opinion Maniglier rightly concludes with the statement that Latour’s presentation of metaphysics as diplomacy  still has its problems, but provides at least (if not more) a provocative alternative to the more traditional metaphysics and deconstruction driven philosophies. Also, Maniglier manages to formulate the matter more clearly, than Latour himself was able to in his Inquiry into the Modes of Existence.

P.S. The rest of the articles in the new issue of Radical Philosophy are also worth reading.
