Despite being one of France's most enduring and popular
philosophers, Branches is the first English translation of what has
been identified as Michel Serres' key text on humanism. In
attempting to reconcile humanity and nature, Serres examines how
human history 'branches' off from its origin story. Using the
metaphor of a branch springing from the stem and arguing that the
branch's originality derives its format, Serres identifies dogmatic
philosophy as the stem, while philosophy as the branch represents
its inventive, shape-shifting, or interdisciplinary elements. In
Branches, Serres provides a unique reading of the history of
thought and removes the barriers between science, culture, art and
religion. His fluency and this fluidity of subject matter combine
here to make a book suitable for students of Continental
philosophy, post-humanism, the medical humanities and philosophical
science, while providing any reader with a wider understanding of
the world in which they find themselves.
