"Harman has almost unparalleled knowledge of the complexities of Latour's work; and his personal connections mean the book will be thoroughly well informed." -Stuart Elden, Durham University, UK "Bruno Latour is one of the leading intellectuals of our times, and his influence is constantly growing. This book is guaranteed to attract attention, not just amongst philosophers" -Barbara Czarniawska, Göteborg University, Sweden, 'With refreshing creativity, Graham Harman extracts his political project from Bruno Latour's philosophical writings. His book lucidly maps out the course that Latour's thought charts across left and right - truth and power - not because this opposition doesn't matter, but because for all their practical urgency, today's crises also present a great intellectual challenge, requiring a redefinition of the very objectives of politics', Reassembling the Political continues Harman's welcome effort to demonstrate that Latour is a philosopher as much as a sociologist. Like a native taking a visitor under his expert wing, Harman's lucid interpretation of Bruno Latour's political thought packs in expected tourist attractions along with unexpected landmarks and diversions. A delightful, informative read for Latour novices and experts alike., With refreshing creativity, Graham Harman extracts his political project from Bruno Latour's philosophical writings.
