Transcendence and Immanence

by

The 2011 vol. 3 issue of Analecta Hermenutica is now open access with downloadable PDFs. It contains a number of contributions on speculative realism, object-oriented ontology and actor-network theory, including a piece by Jay Foster, “Ontologies without Metaphysics: Latour, Harman and the Philosophy of Things,” which discusses at length the February 2008 debate between Harman and Latour at the LSE (published as The Prince and the Wolf).

    Just an observation – Jay Foster put forward the famous Latour quote
    “there are four things that do not work with actor-network theory; the word “actor,” the word “network,” the word “theory” and the hyphen!”
    from the 1999 paper “On recalling ANT” however in “Reassembling the social” on page 9 Latour takes the opposite standpoint and says he will now defend all of them – including the hyphen!

    I am not entirely convinced that it is terrible important in the greater perspective, but I just found it interesting.

    I don’t think I’ve ever read an article on Latour that hasn’t mentioned that quote :)

    In fact in “Reassembling the social” Latour even introduced another hyphen (actor-network-theory), which doesn’t seem to have caught on.
