在本論文當中我將討論拉圖爾在《我們未曾現代過》、《自然的政治》及《重構社會》中提出的集聚（collective）概念，並試著探索其後人類倫理的可能。拉圖爾因不滿現代性而亟欲去除人類中心思想，我認為這樣的轉向將有助建構對非人能動（nonhuman agent）友善的另類倫理學。拉圖爾所闡述之非現代憲章暗示了非以理性系統為基礎的倫理學，或可對當今之生態關懷作出長足貢獻，除此之外，亦可能為當今環境與文學跨科際研究帶來豐碩成果。職是之故，我將試著以拉圖爾的理論對馬岱爾的《少年Pi的奇幻漂流》作一實驗性閱讀。雖然一般認為拉圖爾之能動者網絡理論（Actor-Network-Theory, ANT）偏向以物質為導向之實質性研究，我希望藉著以拉圖爾理論剖析《Pi》的應用來彰顯其後人倫理的面向。我的論文分成三部分：（一）討論拉圖爾對現代性的批判，以及其集聚概念之後人類倫理潛能；（二）以ANT論現代動物園；（三）藉由拉圖爾理論分析《Pi》以闡述其中隱含的共存倫理。

In this study, I aim to explore the potential of posthuman ethics in Bruno Latour’s idea of Collective, which was mainly developed in three of his books: We Have Never Been Modern, Politics of Nature, and Reassembling the Social. Investigating Latour’s dissatisfaction with modernity, I aim to point out the deanthropocentric turn he takes to add on the possibility of an alternative ethics which is friendly to nonhuman agents. His explication of a Non-modern Constitution can contribute not only to the development of an eco-friendly ethics which is not based on the system of reason, the hallmark of modernity, but also to the interdisciplinary study of the environment and literature. Therefore, I would like to advance an experimental reading of Yann Martel’s Life of Pi through Latour’s theory. Given that Latour’s Actor-Network-Theory (ANT) tends toward a material-based discussion, I would like to show that the potential of posthuman ethics in his writings would become even more explicit through an application to the reading of Pi. My essay will be divided into three sections: in the first part, I discuss Latour’s critique of modernity and the potential of posthuman ethics in his concept of Collective. In the second section, the modern zoo will be discussed through Latour’s ANT. In the final section, I will read Yann Martel’s ＂Life of Pi＂ through Latour’s view in order to explicate a new ethics of co-existence.
