Beskrivning

Following the narratives explored in Hominescence, Incandescent and The Bough, Michel Serres continues and concludes his 'grand story' of humanity and humanism. This book weaves together and condenses the overriding philosophical narratives of the previous books and reflects upon Serres' own humanist theoretical system. With characteristic breadth and imagination, in telling the story of humanity, Serres also tells us why Orpheus lost his friend Euridyce; why Eve was really tempted in the garden of Eden, the history of Fetishism and how human being learned to think. The book offers a challenge to the reader: a challenge to live in the fullness of one's humanity.

Recensioner i media

In his final recount of humanism, humanity and the Humanities, as only Michel Serres could achieve, we learn how ongoing processes of abandonment, forgetting, harmony and return, shape both the state of the Earth and our estrangement from it today. A superb analysis and an essential read for anyone who inhabits this planet and cares about its future.
