Laurent de Sutter et al., « Law and Cosmopolitics: Notes on Bruno Latour’s Contribution to Legal Thinking », Droit et société, ID : 10670/1.f0596f...
In La Fabrique du Droit, the French anthropologist and philosopher of science Bruno Latour causes an important shift in the categories of legal thinking, which also leads to a major reassessment of the law’s place in the political philosophy of Western democracies. Once restored to its constructivism and to the modesty of the small bonds woven during the multiplication of passages that constitute a case, the law becomes a practice capable of setting aside questions of norms and justice, of morality and mourning, in order to take charge of the construction of the very thing that is normally used to explain it, namely society. But are law-related bonds freely woven?
