Abstract

Abstract: “Actor” is the core concept of Bruno Latour's actor-network theory(ANT)， which is characterized by regarding both human and non-human things as active actors that can interact by forming a network. From the perspective of philosophy of organism， the agency of non-human actors comes from the transfer of vitality in the interaction of various types of organism， whereas the actor-network embodies the way of existence and the path of interaction of the organism. The philosophical interpretation of the actor-network theory helps to find the purpose and intention of actor-network evolution， and the dynamic mechanism of translation， so that the social construction activities of science and technology can be further explained.

Key words: philosophy of organism, actor-network theory, actor, social construction
