Description

Book Synopsis
Written in a blend of scientific discourse and lyrical outburst, classical philosophical idiom and conversational intimacy, by turns playful, refined or discordant, Genesis is an attempt to think outside of metaphysical categories of unity or rational order and to make us hear the ""sound and the fury"" that are the background of life and thought.

Trade Review
An intensely beautiful and rigourous meditation on the birth of forms amid chaos and multiplicity from a major philosopher who is also an exquisite craftsman of the written word." —William Paulson, University of Michigan

"Serres exhibits a rare, raw tendentiousness refreshing in its vitriol . . . it's the sort of light-hearted, perverse, and basically liberal tirade one hears too infrequently of late." —Word
