	International Journal of Education & the Arts: Volume 3 Number 3
		Michel Serres is a provocative and unorthodox thinker, very little known in the English-speaking world, although he is one of the best-known contemporary French philosophers.
		Serres' journey from a student of traditional science to revolutionary science in the late 1940s, then from sciences to philosophy in the 1950s and finally from traditional philosophy to literature and philosophy in the 1960s marks the trajectory of his thought.
		Serres is clearly against the fragmentation of knowledge that is responsible for reproducing power relations at the global level (the power accumulated by science on the expense of the arts is one example of this).

	Michel Serres (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
		Michel Serres, born 1930, is one of the most provocative French philosophers of the present.
		Serres is generous not only in incorporating history, literature, the development of mathematics, the sciences, and painting, but in articulating a comprehensive map, he calls it an "atlas," which liquefies the boundaries between the varied disciplines.
		Serres is also irenic in privileging the weak and the fragile.

	Michel Serres's Milieux (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.cs.unc.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
		Serres is fond of representing himself as a cross-over, an intermediary between worlds: a ‘middler’, to awaken from its sleep for a second a sixteenth-century word.
		Serres imagines trying to map or model the involutions of the dough as it is moulded, perhaps by making a mark and plotting its changes of position in three or more dimensions through successive stretchings and foldings.
		Serres begins mapping the senses with the skin because it is the milieu of the senses, a kind of ‘common sense’.

	Thomas Hobbes and Michel Serres on War
		Serres leaves the impression that violence is somehow human and will exist in our current state of reality and as such it is better that we guide ourselves using politics through wars that allow the outbreak of random violence.
		Serres expresses as a main theme of his work that war is changing and we must consider not only our relationships as friend and foe but also our environment as a major factor in the politics of war.
		Serres would state that war is organized into two major parties, Nato and the Serbians, and that the eventual outcome of this war is more efficient and productive in terms of dispute resolution than the random violence that would exist if governing bodies were not in place.

	Michel Serres' Five Senses
		Serres has spoken of his distaste both for the hermeneutics of critique and suspicion, and for the phenomenology of Heidegger and Merleau-Ponty, both of whom he finds risibly thin and bodiless.
		Serres celebrates abundance, increase, invention: the body is, repeatedly and in the end, the principle of propagation.
		Serres ignores the mortality of the body, the fact that the body is the carrier or amplifier of entropy as well as its temporary remission.

	Genesis by Michel Serres, Genevieve James (Translator), James Nielson (Translator) - 0472084356
		Serres draws on his vast interdisciplinary knowledge and noted philosophical writings to argue that the most pressing task of thought today is to recognize that pockets of unity and rationality are islands of order in a sea of multiplicity--a sea that cannot really be CONCEIVED, but which perhaps can still be sensed, felt, and HEARD.
		Serres draws on a vast knowledge of anthropology, classical history, music, theology, art history, information theory, physics, biology, dance and athletics, and Western metaphysics and on a range of writers that includes Plato, Leibniz, Kant, August Comte, Georges Dumezil, Rene Girard, Racine, La Fontaine, Beaumarchais, Balzac, and Shakespeare.
		Serres mounts a polemical, quirky, at times rhapsodical, but above all "noisy", critique of traditional and current models in social theory, historiography, philosophy of science, aesthetics, and metaphysics.

	Abbas, Trekking Time with Serres
		Michel Serres is one of the few philosophers who can genuinely lay claim to the title of "specialist generalist" (Dale and Adamson).
		Serres sees this same juxtaposition of violence and the sacred, but he locates the essence of evil as such at the core of repetitive gestures of exclusion.
		The "multiple" is the metaphorical vehicle Serres chooses to guide his reader through chaos, that is, to have her confront the complexity of the most common elements of his world.

	Michel Serres Conference
		This event is an opportunity for all scholars interested in Serres' work to come together in a unique forum to discuss and debate his poetics of science and the science of poetics.
		Michel Serres is a voyager between the arts and the sciences and a thinker for whom voyaging is invention.
		The universe of Michel Serres is the product of more or less accidental "eddies" occurring in the disorderly flow of cosmic energy and wearing away again, over a period of time, into the stream, by virtue of the never ceasing interaction of entropy, negentropy, information and noise.

	Amazon.fr : Genesis: Livres en anglais: Michel Serres,James Nielson,Genevieve James (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
		This English translation of Michel Serres' 1982 book Genèse captures in lucid prose the startling breadth and depth of his thinking, as he probes the relations between order, disorder, knowledge, anxiety, and violence.
		Serres draws on a vast knowledge of such diverse disciplines as anthropology, classical history, music, theology, art history, information theory, physics, biology, dance and athletics, and Western metaphysics, and a range of cultural material that includes the writings of Plato, Kant, August Comte, Balzac, and Shakespeare, to name a few.
		The result is a work that is at once provocative, poetic, deeply personal, and ultimately religious--an apocalyptic call for the rebirth of philosophy as the art of thinking the unthinkable.

	· You Got Style · Michel Serres Aces the Final
		Without time to describe them, I thought to share something from the philosopher Michel Serres today, a writer whose extended 1995 text, The Natural Contract, grasps both substantively and stylishly the aims of the work I typically ask students to do.
		Serres' words pass a clear test of intelligence and mark well the two aims of real study, instruction and education.
		Serres' Francophilic utopianism, as you say, is here interrogatively underjoined — I'd say in Robert Frost's great line, "To everything on earth the compass round." Clearly, you are right.

	Michel Serres: The Troubadour of Knowledge, University of Michigan Press
		With his agile and poetic voice, Serres has created a meditation of precisely this pluralistic creation, deftly recognizing it as a third party bred not of orderly dialectics but of the destabilizing multiplicity of the present age.
		Michel Serres has taught at Clermont-Ferrand, the University of Paris VIII [Vincennes], the Sorbonne, and Stanford University, and has served as visiting professor at Johns Hopkins University.
		William Paulson is Professor of French and Chair of the Department of Romance Languages and Literatures at the University of Michigan.

		Michel Serres is a wild, marginal philosopher whose 20 dense, often obscure books try to break down the boundaries between science, culture, and art.
		One of Serres' best examples of how little difference there is between science and religion is his comparison between the science of a Carthaginian sacrificial rite (where children were killed inside a giant bronze statue) and the magic of the space program (where astronauts died inside a giant machine).
		BL...it seems to me that there is a double test---first you link Baal and the Challenger, then they have to exchange their properties in a symmetrical fashion.

	zeitkunst» Blog Archive » Bruno Latour interviewing Michel Serres
		Serres, in his discussions with Latour, uses sound, music, and musical instruments quite often to illustrate his points:
		As well, Serres extends Hermes beyond his death, into the Christian era with angels, as the “multiplicity of […] messengers fills the heavens.” I do not think he intends his allusion to absorb the entirety of the theological implications; however, he also does not discount them either.
		Rather, for Serres, angels (in their multiple, stratified sense) allow him to describe succinctly his understanding of the world of relations between concepts, a description that seems to have much in line with the “Hertzian Space” of Anthony Dunne and Fiona Raby (see Hertzian Tales, recently updated, and Design Noir):

		The folds of which Serres speaks can be visualized as a series of pleated pages in which different points touch, sometimes arbitrarily and other times by design.
		Although Serres does not describe this method as stream of consciousness that is sometimes how it reads, to the point where the simplest of objects becomes the premise for an expansive narrative.

		Although elected to the prestigious French Academy in 1990, Michel Serres has long been considered a maverick--a provocative thinker whose prolific writings on culture, science and philosophy have often baffled more than they have enlightened.
		In these five lively interviews with sociologist Bruno Latour, this increasingly important cultural figure sheds light on the ideas that inspire his highly original, challenging, and transdisciplinary essays.
		Michel Serres has taught at Clermont-Ferrand, at the University of Paris VIII (Vincennes) and at the Sorbonne.
