This work gathers Bruno Latour’s critique of modernity and the idea of progress, giving special attention to his critique of modern science and the separation it carries out between nature and society. From these perspective, two concrete cases are analyzed that show the prevalence of this conception in current social science: the claims to the technical treatment of the coronavirus pandemic and the purely technical analysis of the water resource. In the first case, it is emphasized that the pandemic is also a political problem; in the second, that the water problem also has political and social implications.
