·Introduction·
TRUSTING INSTITUTIONS AGAIN?............................................................ 1
A shocking question addressed to a climatologist (02) that obliges us to distinguish values from the accounts practitioners give of them (06).
Between modernizing and ecologizing, we have to choose (08) by proposing a different system of
coordinates (10).
Which leads us to de&ne an imaginary diplomatic scene (13): in the name of whom to negotiate (13) and
with whom to negotiate? (15)
The inquiry at &rst resembles the one involving speech acts (17) while we learn to identify di*erent
modes of existence (19).
The goal is, &rst, to accompany a people vacillating between economy and ecology (22).

HOWTO MAKEAN INQUIRYINTOTHE MODESOF EXISTENCEOFTHE MODERNS POSSIBLE
·Chapter 1·
DEFININGTHE OBJECTOF INQUIRY .........................................................27
An investigator goes o* to do &eldwork among the Moderns (28) without respecting domain boundaries, thanks to the notion of actor-network (30), which makes it possible to distinguish networks as result from networks as process (31).
The inquiry de&nes a &rst mode of existence, the network [NET], through a particular “pass,” or passage (33).
But networks [NET] have a limitation: they do not qualify values (35).
Law o*ers a point of comparison through its own particular mode of displacement (38).
There is thus a de&nition of “boundary” that does not depend on the notions of domain or network (38).
The mode of extension of objective knowledge can be compared with other types of passes (39).

感觉Latour最后还是把自己绕到对“reality”这个问题的执着里去了……
