Ekologia polityczna czy „umowa naturalna”, czyli co Bruno Latour i Michel Serres mają nam do powiedzenia o splocie polityki i natury?
Political Ecology or „Natural contract”? What Michel Serres and Bruno Latour have to say about the Nexus of Politics and Nature?

Summary/Abstract: The object of my interest is Bruno Latour’s “Politics of nature”. In the paper I attempt to reconstruct and preliminarily criticize of concepts expounded in this book. In this purpose, I place Latour’s book in the context of two other works: Michel Serres’ “The Natural Contract” and Luc Ferry’s “The New Ecological Order”. Serres is one of the most important masters for Latour, therefore it is proper to see what Latour borrows from Serres and in what Latour and Serres differ. However, Luc Ferry is a model opponent of Serres and Latour. On this background, positions of Serres and Latour become more clear. Article is divided into three parts. In the first part, I present Ferry’s ideas. In the second one, I reconstruct Serres’ doctrine of “natural contract”. I try to take a critical look at Ferry’s arguments as well. In the third part, I reconstruct Latour’s conception and I enumerate its flaws.
