Description
Book SynopsisBruno Latour s long term project is to compare the felicity and infelicity conditions of the different values dearest to the heart of those who have never been modern . According to him, this is the only way to develop an anthropology of the Moderns.
Trade Review"In a book both informative and transformative, Latour may well have succeeded in his aim to ‘reboot the teeniest hint of a beginning of a religious sentiment’"
Southern Semiotic Review
"Rejoicing is a kind of meditation: Latour has composed, in Yeats’ phrase, a dialogue of self and soul.”
Chicago Tribune
"In this honest , profound yet accessible book, a distinguished French scholar and public intellectual carries on an agonized dialog with himself as he faces the obstacles to religious faith today - and then points toward a resolution. As I read, I felt he had climbed into my soul."
John O’Malley, Georgetown University
"Rejoicing constitutes a creative, thought-provoking and impressive blend of, and reflection upon, learning and traditions."
Rebecca Catto, Coventry University
