Latour: Necessity and contingency

Latour's theory argues that necessity and contingency are resistance gradients of agents, rather than fixed and unchanging existences. Truth is the link between actors, and time is the key to the contentious relationship between various forces. He rejects foundationalism and consistencyism in philosophy, arguing that all realities involve the negotiation and testing of forces, the relationships that define and shape the structures that win the sustained existence. Latour also contributed to his views on language and philosophical analysis, emphasizing that each word has its own meaning and cannot simply be mapped to one another.
