Biogea is a mixture of poetry, philosophy, science, and biography
exemplary of the style that has made Michel Serres one of the most
extraordinary thinkers of his age. His philosophical and poetic
inquiry sings in praise of earth and life, what he names singularly
as Biogea. In these times when species are disappearing, when
catastrophic events such as earthquakes and tsunamis impale the
earth, Serres wonders if anyone "worries about the death pangs of
the rivers." And for Serres, one can ask the same question of
philosophy as the humanities increasingly find themselves in need
of defenders. Today, all living organisms discover themselves part
of this Biogea. "Today we have other neighbors, constituents of the
Biogea: the sea, my lover; our mother, the Earth, becomes our
daughter; this beautiful breeze which inspires the spirit, a
spiritual mistress; our light friends, the fresh and flowing
waters."
