Branches
Bloomsbury Academic (Verlag)
978-1-4742-9751-6 (ISBN)
In attempting to reconcile humanity and nature, Serres examines how human history ‘branches’ off from its origin story. Using the metaphor of a branch springing from the stem and arguing that the branch’s originality derives its format, Serres identifies dogmatic philosophy as the stem, while philosophy as the branch represents its inventive, shape-shifting, or interdisciplinary elements. In Branches, Serres provides a unique reading of the history of thought and removes the barriers between science, culture, art and religion. His fluency and this fluidity of subject matter combine here to make a book suitable for students of Continental philosophy, post-humanism, the medical humanities and philosophical science, while providing any reader with a wider understanding of the world in which they find themselves.
Michel Serres was Professor in the History of Science at Stanford University, USA and a member of the Académie Française, France. A renowned and popular philosopher, he was a prize-winning author of essays and books, such as The Five Senses (2008), Genesis(1995), and Biogée (2013). Randolph Burks is an independent scholars based in China. He specializes in phenomenology and philosophies of the body and nature and has translated several works by Michel Serres, including Biogea, Variations on the Body (2012), The Foundations Trilogy (Bloomsbury 2015-17) and The Hermaphrodite (forthcoming)
