Description
The Parasite (Volume 1) by Michel Serres In this foundational work, Michel Serres uses a fable to explore the parallels between human relationships and the relationship between a parasite and its host body. By examining the role of minor groups as pests, Serres argues that they can become major players in public dialogue, contributing to the diversity and complexity that are vital to human life and thought. Through this lens, Serres examines the ways in which social exchange and interpersonal relationships can be understood as a form of parasitism. This thought-provoking work challenges readers to consider the ways in which power and influence can be exercised in subtle yet significant ways. First published in 2007, The Parasite (Volume 1) is a key work by a prominent philosopher and scholar.
