Science and technology have immense authority and influence in our society, yet their working remains little understood. The conventional perception of science in Western societies has been modified in recent years by the work of philosophers, sociologists and historians of science. In this book Bruno Latour brings together these different approaches to provide a lively and challenging analysis of science, demonstrating how social context and technical content are both essential to a proper understanding of scientific activity. Emphasizing that science can only be understood through its practice, the author examines science and technology in action: the role of scientific literature, the activities of laboratories, the institutional context of science in the modern world, and the means by which inventions and discoveries become accepted. From the study of scientific practice he develops an analysis of science as the building of networks. Throughout, Bruno Latour shows how a lively and realistic picture of science in action alters our conception of not only the natural sciences but also the social sciences and the sociology of knowledge in general. This stimulating book, drawing on a wealth of examples from a wide range of scientific activities, will interest all philosophers, sociologists and historians of science, scientists and engineers, and students of the philosophy of social science and the sociology of knowledge.

一本对“科学超脱性”（detachment of science）进行祛魅的书：1、技术性论文（technical papers）中潜藏的修辞术“使异议者感到孤独”，参考文献的层积化特性使试图反驳的读者仿佛感觉自己面对的是一些成群而来的天才从而羞赧地闭上了嘴。2、实验室中的小九九更不必多说了。3...

The takeaway here is that we have been wishfully taking the rare, spectacular events in the history of scientific activity as how a normal day looks like in science's life. ...people who never come close to the fabrication of science have the greatest difficulty in grasping...that all scientific articles are equal and arrayed in lines like soldiers, to be carefully inspected one by one. However...

二刷论文又回到这本书，澄清了一些问题。果然有些东西，早读了也是读不懂，可能记住了，依然不理解。还原论和相对主义是走向非还原、辩证的第一也是必要的一步。

part1，非常颠覆常识。第一，以论文为载体生产科学的fact，其实具有很强烈的导向性。我们所认为的客观，是被作者（群）用“字幕”等种种手段引诱的结果。第二，所谓的科学实验，就像一个剧场一样。为了让我们“眼见为实”的相信，需要一整套仪器来构建出科学生产的场域感，需要“发言人”强化和加工实验结果…
