Description
Michel Serres explores the body's remarkable capacity for movement and transformation, celebrating the diverse range of individuals who inspire it.
The fluidity of human gesture and posture is likened to the leisure of living beings and things, while also giving rise to signs that reveal knowledge. In this unique text, the author argues that the mind emerges from the body's movements and metamorphoses, with the five senses playing a significant role in our understanding.
Through his examination of the body's plasticity, Serres reveals the intricate connections between movement, perception, and knowledge.
