Description
Rome: A foundational exploration of society, knowledge and culture. Michel Serres' first book in his 'foundations trilogy' examines the roots of scientific knowledge and sets out to urge us against the repetitive violence of founding. Through a meditation on the roots of scientific knowledge, set theory and aesthetics, Serres explores themes such as violence, murder, sacrifice and hospitality. This thought-provoking work provides an alternative reading of Livy's Ab urbe condita, shedding light on the problems of history, repetition and imitation.
