{"product_id":"the-incandescent-michel-serres-9781474297400","title":"The Incandescent","description":"The first translation of the volumes in Michel Serres' classic 'Humanism' tetralogy, this ambitious philosophical narrative explores what it means to be human. With his characteristic breadth of references including art, poetry, science, philosophy and literature, Serres paints a new picture of what it might mean to live meaningfully in contemporary society. He tells the story of humankind (from the beginning of time to the present moment) in an attempt to affirm his overriding thesis that humans and nature have always been part of the same ongoing and unfolding history. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThis crucial piece of posthumanist philosophical writing has never before been released in English. A masterful translation by Randolph Burks ensures the poetry and wisdom of Serres writing is preserved and his notion of what humanity is and might be is opened up to new audiences.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michel Serres\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1474297404\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781474297400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/26\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 5.10w x 0.70d","brand":"Michel Serres","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43935509348607,"sku":"9781474297400","price":36.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_c9c6a028-a668-418b-8ce2-4f4f0e3e6c6a.jpg?v=1681420209","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-incandescent-michel-serres-9781474297400","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
