{"product_id":"branches-michel-serres-9781474297509","title":"Branches: A Philosophy of Time, Event and Advent","description":"\u003cp\u003eDespite being one of France's most enduring and popular philosophers, \u003ci\u003eBranches\u003c\/i\u003e is the first English translation of what has been identified as Michel Serres' key text on humanism. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn 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 \u003ci\u003eBranches, \u003c\/i\u003eSerres 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michel Serres\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1474297501\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781474297509\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/11\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.73lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Michel Serres","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46685721886975,"sku":"9781474297509","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7ea76587-2816-4ed7-97f7-d3d503ee0540.jpg?v=1741726566","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/branches-michel-serres-9781474297509","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
