Philippe Pignarre is an editor and the author of many books.
“The entwined, crafted textual conversations between the fast friends and sometimes wildly different allies, Bruno Latour and Isabelle Stengers, that Pignarre gives the reader deserve close reading and passionate engagement. Pignarre’s textual staging shows our muddy-footed heroes battling the dragon of Science, its propaganda and ideology, and its arrogant Moderns in order to open space for sciences with their obligations and consequences. Landing on Earth, indeed!” Donna Haraway, University of California at Santa Cruz “The philosophical friendship between Isabelle Stengers and the late Bruno Latour is among the most important of the past fifty years. In this stimulating new book, the historian and publisher Philippe Pignarre breaks fresh ground in exploring the parallel yet intersecting paths of these two key Francophone thinkers.” Graham Harman, Southern California Institute of Architecture “Tackles deep questions about scientific practice and the meaning of modernity.” Nature
