A Locus of Care

Justin Smith reflects on Bruno Latour. A nice read, especially when accompanied by Fiona Apple. "Constructionism was never a matter of 'Âœjust saying whatever'," writes Smith, "and science can never be simply a matter of reading the dictates of the natural world off of our instruments, or out of our data, like a new sort of Divine Law. We have a choice as to how read the world, and it's going to take all of our human ability, and perhaps some superhuman luck or grace as well, to read it for our own good." I like the explanation of choice near the start and the reflections on 'thing' near the end.
