I don't know what Latour could think about Rorty, who have not a good reputation in France (for many reasons). I'm not sure Latour will recognize himself as a pragmatic in the way of Rorty. But I agree with you : The critic of the distinction between Nature and Culture in Latour's philosophy seem to me compatible with the rorty's critic. And they have in common the fact that they are trying to construct something after the critic (a political method for Latour and a way of life for Rorty), so they are not "post-modern" if this expression makes some sense. Do you know some author who have made this connexion between Rorty and Latour ? or : are we alone ? :) ô
