Latour's way of achieving this is to claim that subjects and objects are two poles of a spectrum, which have many quasi subjects and quasi objects, mixtures, in-between them. ... [I]nstead of dialectically jumping between the ideas that reside in the minds of subjects and some objective reality out there, we would do better to admit that in our daily lives we are engaged in practices that are thick, fleshy, and warm as well as made out of metal, glass, and numbers--and that are persistently uncertain."
