Michel Serres first book in his 'foundations trilogy' is all about
beginnings. The beginning of Rome but also about the beginning of
society, knowledge and culture. Rome is an examination of the very
foundations upon which contemporary society has been built. With
characteristic breadth and lyricism, Serres leads the reader on a
journey from a meditation the roots of scientific knowledge to set
theory and aesthetics. He explores the themes of violence, murder,
sacrifice and hospitality in order to urge us to avoid the
repetitive violence of founding. Rome also provides an alternative
and creative reading of Livy's Ab urbe condita which sheds light on
the problems of history, repetition and imitation. First published
in English in 1991, re-translated and introduced in this new
edition, Michel Serres' Rome is a contemporary classic which shows
us how we came to live the way we do.
