Description

Christopher Watkin provides the first comprehensive introduction to Serres' thought from The System of Leibniz (1968) through to his final publications in 2019. Working from the original French, he engages with both translated and major untranslated texts, providing a true overview of Serres' thinking.Using diagrams to explain Serres' thought, the first half of the book carefully explores Serres' 'global intuition' how he understands and engages with the world and his 'figures of thought', the repeated intellectual moves that characterise his unique approach. The second half explores in detail Serres' revolutionary contributions to the areas of language, objects and ecology.Watkin shows that Michel Serres has produced a cross-disciplinary body of work that provides a crucial and as yet under-exploited reference for current debates in post-humanism, object oriented ontology, ecological thought and the environmental humanities.
