In "Down to Earth," Bruno Latour embarks on a critical exploration of our current ecological and political turmoil, provocatively arguing that the triple threat of skyrocketing inequalities, rampant deregulation, and the crumbling dream of globalization are not separate phenomena but interconnected outcomes of a deliberate retreat by the world's elite. As the planet faces unprecedented ecological challenges, these powerful few have chosen to deny the crisis and secure their own survival by withdrawing from any commitment to a shared future. Latour presents a stark picture of a society at a crossroads, where the promise of modernity has soured, and disillusionment has driven people back toward more insular identities based on nation and ethnicity. Latour challenges us to radically redefine our political priorities, shifting focus from the global or national, towards the Earth itself. He argues for a profound reevaluation of our relationship with the planet, advocating for a new politics that prioritizes the territorial, the local, and the specific ways we inhabit our endangered world. "Down to Earth" is a clarion call for a new way of political thinking, one that acknowledges the gravity of the ecological mutation and seeks to redefine what it means to belong to a territory in the age of climate crisis. Through Latour's lens, learning to live anew on Earth isn't just an environmental imperative but the most pressing political task of our times.
