Latour is best known for his work in the cultural study of science. In this pamphlet he turns his attention to another worthy pursuit: the project of peace. Latour gives us a different picture of this project than Kant or the philosophes, asserting that the West has been in a constant state of war both with other cultures and its own--although unwittingly so.
