Description
Branches: A Philosophy of Time, Event and Advent by Michel Serres In this groundbreaking work, Michel Serres explores how human history branches off from its origin story. He uses the metaphor of a branch springing from the stem to argue that philosophy represents the inventive, shape-shifting elements that break away from dogmatic thinking. Through his unique reading of the history of thought, Serres removes the barriers between science, culture, art and religion. This fluidity of subject matter makes Branches a valuable resource for students of Continental philosophy, post-humanism, and philosophical science. The book provides a wider understanding of the world in which we live, making it an essential read for anyone looking to broaden their perspective. By reconciling humanity and nature, Serres offers a fresh perspective on our place within the world. Branches is a thought-provoking exploration that challenges readers to rethink their assumptions about time, event, and human existence.
