Bruno Latour on the Greek Tree; So What?
By Will Gerber
Readers of the critically acclaimed essay “The Greek Tree Was Never Modern” may come out with a number of questions about its argument and significance. Primarily, skeptics may question my claim that individuals do not need a diverse understanding of the sciences in order for all of us to function well collectively. From youth, we are taught that more knowledge means more success, and more fulfillment. I however, would make the claim that an incomplete understanding of any given field can potentially be more damaging than none, as biased information is much more effective on uninformed people. We can’t count on everyone to stay up to date on every new piece of information, but we can count on people to critique new developments in their individual interests.
