Description

Following the narratives explored in Hominescence, Incandescent and The Bough, Michel Serres continues and concludes his 'grand story' of humanity and humanism. This book weaves together and condenses the overriding philosophical narratives of the previous books and reflects upon Serres' own humanist theoretical system. With characteristic breadth and imagination, in telling the story of humanity, Serres also tells us why Orpheus lost his friend Euridyce; why Eve was really tempted in the garden of Eden, the history of Fetishism and how human being learned to think. The book offers a challenge to the reader: a challenge to live in the fullness of one's humanity.

The final installement in the lively and poetic 'Humanism' series from one of the world's foremost philosophers of life, Michel Serres.

About the Author
Michel Serres is Professor in the History of Science at Stanford University, USA, and a member of the Academie Francaise. A renowned and popular philosopher, he is a prize-winning author of essays and books, such as The Five Senses, Genesis, and Biogea. Randolph Burks is a philosopher specializing in phenomenology and philosophies of the body and nature. He has translated several works by Michel Serres, including Biogea, Variations on the Body, The Foundations Trilogy and The Hermaphrodite (forthcoming).

Reviews
In his final recount of humanism, humanity and the Humanities, as only Michel Serres could achieve, we learn how ongoing processes of abandonment, forgetting, harmony and return, shape both the state of the Earth and our estrangement from it today. A superb analysis and an essential read for anyone who inhabits this planet and cares about its future. * Rick Dolphijn, Associate Professor of Media and Cultural Studies, Utrecht University, the Netherlands *

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.
