Reply to comment by salTUR in Bruno Latour posed a major challenge to modern philosophy’s key assumption - a distinction between the human subject and the world. Philosophy as a field is yet to properly understand the importance of his contribution | Graham Harman. by IAI_Admin
In general, I don’t like how the article portrayed Latour’s ideas as entirely original and new. Yes, he absolutely made his own unique framework and also directly placed these ideas in dialogue with modern philosophy, which is valuable, but similar thoughts on the equal footing of thoughts and all other phenomena have been part of Buddhism in one form or another for over a thousand years. As you point out, these ideas have even already been part of Western philosophical thought

I think the spirit of the sub is about getting inspired to write, not necessarily nailing the prompt.
