Mathematics and Information in the Philosophy of Michel Serres
AvVera Bühlmann,Joanna Hodge
Häftad, Engelska, 2021
471 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This book introduces the reader to Serres’ unique manner of ‘doing philosophy’ that can be traced throughout his entire oeuvre: namely as a novel manner of bearing witness.It explores how Serres takes note of a range of epistemologically unsettling situations, which he understands as arising from the short-circuit of a proprietary notion of capital with a praxis of science that commits itself to a form of reasoning which privileges the most direct path (simple method) in order to expend minimal efforts while pursuing maximal efficiency. In Serres’ universal economy, value is considered as a function of rarity, not as a stock of resources. This book demonstrates how Michel Serres has developed an architectonics that is coefficient with nature.Mathematic and Information in the Philosophy of Michel Serres acquaints the reader with Serres’ monist manner of addressing the universality and the power of knowledge – that is at once also the anonymous and empty faculty of incandescent, inventive thought.The chapters of the book demarcate, problematize and contextualize some of the epistemologically unsettling situations Serres addresses, whilst also examining the particular manner in which he responds to and converses with these situations.
Heidegger and Ethics
AvJoanna Hodge
Inbunden, Engelska, 1995

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
Heidegger and ethics is a contentious conjunction of terms. Martin Heidegger himself rejected the notion of ethics, while his endorsement of Nazism is widely seen as unethical. This major new study examines the complex and controversial issues involved in bringing them together.By working backwards through his work, from his 1964 claim that philosophy has been completed to Being and Time, his first major work, Joanna Hodge questions Heidegger's denial that his enquires were concerned with ethics. She discovers a form of ethics in Heidegger's thinking which elucidates his important distinction between metaphysics and philosophy. Against many contemporary views, she proposes therefore that ethics can be retrieved and questions the relation between ethics and metaphysics that Heidegger had made so pervasive.

This is a comprehensive investigation into the theme of time in the work of Jacques Derrida and shows how temporality is one of the hallmarks of his thought. Drawing on a wide array of Derrida's texts, Joanna Hodge:compares and contrasts Derrida's arguments concerning time with those Kant, Husserl, Augustine, Heidegger, Levinas, Freud, and Blanchotargues that Derrida's radical understanding of time as non-linear or irregular is essential to his aim of blurring the distinction between past and present, biography and literature, philosophical and religious meditation, and the nature of the selfexplores the themes of death, touch and transcendence to argue that if considered under the theme of temporality there is more continuity to Derrida's thought than previously considered.

Michel Serres and French Philosophy of Science
Materiality, Ecology and Quasi-Objects
AvMassimiliano Simons,Joanna Hodge
Inbunden, Engelska, 2022
1 342 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
Massimiliano Simons provides the first systematic study of Serres’s work in the context of 20th-century French philosophy of science. By proposing new readings of Serres’s philosophy, Simons creates a synthesis between his predecessors, Gaston Bachelard, Georges Canguilhem and Louis Althusser as well as contemporary Francophone philosophers of science such as Bruno Latour and Isabelle Stengers.Simons situates Serres’s unique contribution through his notion of the quasi-object, a concept, he argues, organizes great parts of Serres’s work into a promising philosophy of science as well as a challenge to the narrower field of French epistemology, to which it has often been limited. Simons highlights how the concept encompasses Serres’s commitment to positive relations between science and culture and his rejection of pleas to purify the scientific self from imaginative and cultural elements. It helps to situate Serres between the distinct traditions of Bachelard and Latour as well as progressing the innovative aspects of Serres’s philosophy for current debates in the philosophy, history and sociology of science.Showing how Serres’s philosophy can serve as a normative approach to science and technology, Michel Serres and French Philosophy of Science takes in themes of materiality, religiosity, modernity and ecology to advance a timely alternative to philosophy of science for contemporary life.

Michel Serres and the Planetary Emergency
A Philosophy of Hope in a Time of Crisis
AvPeter Johnson,Joanna Hodge
Inbunden, Engelska, 2026
1 447 kr
Kommande
Throughout his writing, French philosopher Michel Serres described ways of living in the future that could now prove essential in overcoming the destruction of humanity.This introduction to Serres’ ecological thought lays bare a philosophy that drew on a dazzling range of sources from myths, religion, mathematics, advanced science and the humanities and stands out as profoundly relevant to the challenges of what may prove to be the late Anthropocene era. Peter Johnson explores Serres’ key proposals for a new, shared social contract, and draws parallels between his philosophy and indigenous stories about the kinship of all nature. He also explains how Serres questions and enriches popular notions of ‘Big History’, and challenges widespread calls by environmental groups, politicians and corporations for sustainability and adaptability. Throughout, Serres’ thought is contrasted with a variety of contemporary arguments about the social and political roots of the current crisis.Most importantly, Serres’ thought offers hope about possibilities to come, with a particular emphasis on the skills of young people, the opportunities offered by global communication and access to knowledge. The book’s final section describes Serres’ vision for global knowledge sharing and new forms of communication technology and education, making it essential to all those who wish to explore the underlying roots of the ecological crisis and what we must confront if we are to avoid further destruction.
Michel Serres: A Portrait of Italian Humanism
AvGaspare Polizzi,Joanna Hodgem. fl.
Inbunden, Engelska, 2026
1 447 kr
Kommande
This book paints a picture of Michel Serres’s ‘complex humanism’ as rooted in the Italian history and culture that are ever present throughout his work. Serres had a complex view of humanity that can’t be boiled down to any single definition, but by understanding his Italian influences it becomes easier to see the big picture in his concept of humanism. In this context, we can more easily confront apparent paradoxes like the nature-inclusive agenda of The Natural Contract and the pessimism of The Parasite.Polizzi explores Serres’ use of the sciences, complexity theory, and the cultures of Rome and Catholicism in his vision of complex humanism that respects both the force and the fragility of the planet. He also puts Serres’ work into new conversations with concepts like the irreversibility of time and the work of Hungarian philosopher Imre Tóth. Through this rich web of ideas, Polizzi shows how Serres’ blending of the sciences and humanities can overcome humanity’s parasitic dependence upon the planet and enter into a new and far more peaceable relationship.
