Description
Incandescent explores what it means to be human in this ambitious philosophical narrative. With its broad references spanning art, poetry, science, philosophy and literature, Serres paints a new picture of living meaningfully in contemporary society.
The story of humankind is told from the beginning of time to the present moment, with the aim of affirming the thesis that humans and nature have always been part of the same ongoing history. This crucial piece of posthumanist philosophical writing has now been released in English for the first time.
A masterful translation by Randolph Burks preserves the poetry and wisdom of Serres' writing, opening up his notion of what humanity is and might be to new audiences.
