Latour died a few days ago, I would really appreciate if you would do another video on him, there is much more to explore! Saying this, I found this to be a really great engagement! Keep the content coming! 😁

I've been listening to the Philosophize This podcast since 3 years now, but I've never known there was a YouTube channel. Why hasn't this blown up in numbers? It's the best source of philosophy for the masses imho

My respect for you went tenfold after looking at your LinkedIn profile and reading an article on you. I'm grateful to have found your podcast. You really did change my life. I lost my father when I was little. I gotta say, you really are like a father to me, your wisdom and your passion for philosophy helped and inspired me.

Please do more of Bruno Latour!!! <3

[antbiggs]

Thank you for this. A brilliant hopeful analysis of where we are now and how we might go forward. First I had heard of Latour and I will be following him up but yes, consider yourself pestered. More on Latour please...

Thanks for making this video! I read We Have Never Been Modern, and not having a philosophy background, a lot of it left me confused. But there were parts that I loved, like the way he dismissed the need for debunkings and revolutions - "The end of history is followed by history no matter what."

I am halfway through the book and I thought "maybe this guy has a video on this" and lo and behold :)
Great video!

[rubenborgesmusic]

Please more Latour and Timothy Morton!

[baronbullshyster]

Many thanks.
Your work is modern magic!

It might be a useful rejoinder to discuss Latour's later work, "Reassembling the Social"; a smidge easier to digest, and some of his ideas mature. His notions of flat ontology are problematic to understand, and while I don't wholly agree with them, I feel the thought process is fascinating to delve into.

[czowiekpierwotny]

Thanks for another great episode. Would love to hear more about more recent thinkers like mr Bruno.

[bostayfa]

This podcast is a great listening exercise for me

I just discovered Bruno Latour, and I intend to learn as much as possible.

Also, I scored 0-1 on that modernity quiz, I take pride in that.

[jakeommiles]

I love your podcast. I've learnt so much - Thank you!

Reminder that La Tour is the one who insisted that Pharaoh Ramses could not have died of tuberculosis because tuberculosis had not yet been socially constructed. He has not brought the synthesis of modernism and postmodernism at all, but rather is a staunch postmodernist himself.

There is no satisfying resolution to this debate, besides maybe in the sphere of the arts there is metamodernism, but that provides no answers for this epistemological battle.

[everylittlethingproduction]

This was great! You should definitely cover more on Bruno Latour! Would love to hear you interview him, talk back and forth with him?

[PelaoTV]

I came here after the news, to know about him. :(
