Beskrivning
Michel Serres captures the urgencies of our time; from the digital revolution to the ecological crisis to the future of the university, the crises that code the world today are addressed in an accessible, affirmative and remarkably original analysis in his thought.This volume is the first to engage with the philosophy of Michel Serres, not by writing ‘about’ it, but by writing ‘with’ it. This is done by expanding upon the urgent themes that Serres works on; by furthering his materialism, his emphasis on communication and information, his focus on the senses, and the role of mathematics in thought. His famous concepts, such as the parasite, ‘amis de viellesse’, and the algorithm are applied in 21st century situations. With contributions from an international and interdisciplinary team of authors, these writings tackle the crises of today and affirm the contemporary relevance of Serres’ philosophy.

This collection is both timely and important. The essays gathered here deploy many of the concepts and modes of thinking that Michel Serres has developed through his prodigious body of work, to make sense of the conditions of crisis, economic, environmental and political, that we currently inhabit. They take their impetus from the living and loving sweep of Serres's work, as they range between nature, language, mathematics, knowledge, technology and the senses. Their manner of thinking with, rather than merely about Serres, means that they are able to move beyond the parched, penurious work of critique to the imagination of new ways of thinking, feeling and being.
