	Michel Serres - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Born the son of a barge man, Serres entered the Ecole Navale in 1949 and the Ecole Normale Superieure in 1952.
		More generally Serres is interested in developing a philosophy of science which does not rely on a metalanguage in which one account of science is privileged and accurate.
		In 1990, Serres was appointed to the Académie Française, a sign of his position as one of France's most prominent intellectuals.

	International Journal of Education & the Arts: Volume 3 Number 3 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		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 wants philosophy to have the courage to embrace differences and multiplicities and to be open to new directions and possibilities that avoid paying allegiance to rationalistic assumptions that want to portray the world in neatly framed packages.
		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).

	Serres - A brief historical
		In the course of the 5th century, the city of Serres was mentioned as the seat of a Bishop while in the early 6th century it was the most important city of the 7th province of the Byzantine state.
		The college of Education in Serres was the first that was founded in the whole European Turkey in 1672 and the teachers who graduated from it, spread far beyond Greece and turned out to be a vital force in the education and cultural awakening of the Greek nation.
		The citizens of Serres took part in all the pre-Revolutionary movements of the subjected Greeks during the astonishingly prolonged slavery and paid dearly for their deep love of freedom.

	Michel Serres (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		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.

	Serres
		Michel Serres Michel Serres is a 'voyager' between the arts and the sciences, and a thinker for whom voyaging is invention.
		Serres addresses the theme of noise and communication to show that 'noise is part of communication'; it cannot be eliminated from the system.
		Against the rigid orderliness of convention, Serres proposes the relative disorder of poetry, that is, of the miracle, chance and the exception.

		So Serres sees, and uses topology as a way of maintaining what itself might be thought of as the topological equivalence between the shape and space of the body and the more abstract projections of algebraic topology, between the sensible and the intelligible.
		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 repeatedly recoils from this frightening dominion of noise and chaos into the subtle, shifting milieux - literally mid-places or middle grounds - of local variegations and instabilities, between the white of total possibility and the fl of totalised actuality.

	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.

	Berressem, Serres Reads Pynchon
		In this project, Serres draws on Nietzsche's "fluid dynamics of perception" as well as on Bergson, who is (with his theory of "becoming" and "processes" and his meditations on the "pornography of perception") also an important influence on Deleuze and Guattari.
		Serres takes up the basic tenet of chaos theory, namely that every order is only a spatial and temporal island in a turbulent sea of disorder and multiplicity, when he states that the universe itself is "an immense fractal turbulence, a global turbulence of large, medium, small...
		Serres stays within the fluid-dynamical reference when he uses the image of the thalweg, which denotes the Lucretian inclination, to describe the trajectory of growing order and confluence: "The downstream course, the worn-out path, the slope, the chreod, run, from upstream confluences to downstream confluences, toward synthesis and the unitary" (17).

	Michel Serres: The Natural Contract, University of Michigan Press
		Tracing the ancient beginnings of modernity, Serres examines the origins and possibilities of a natural contract through an extended meditation on the contractual foundations of law and science.
		Serres ends his meditation by retelling the story of the natural contract as a series of parables.
		The philosopher's harrowing and joyous task, Serres tells us, is that of comprehending and experiencing the bonds of violence and love that unite us in our spacewalk to the spaceship Mother Earth.

	Abbas, Trekking Time with Serres
		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.
		But Serres points out that in his writings the question is not one of playing modernity against a past that has been used and is done with.

		Here, finally, we have Serres explaining his background and training, his method, his opinions on philosophy, criticism, and morality, his perception of the need for connections between science and the humanities, and his chaotic theory of time and knowledge.
		In order to understand how Serres can bridge time, space and culture and make connections between ancient philosophers, romantic literature and modern/postmodern science, we need only see the workings of his radically different theories of time and knowledge.
		Michel Serres incorporated chaos and information theory into cultural studies back in the 1970's; he did it then and does it still, better than most of us do today.

		In Assad's chapter "Time Promised: Reading Genèse" (Genèse is Serre's meditation on noise), she investigates the transition or mutation of "noise" and the "multiple." Serres provides a framework for understanding how ordered complexity, information, even meaning, can arise from interaction with disorder.
		The "multiple" is a "new object for philosophy" that Serres is "offering to be sounded and perhaps fathomed" by his readers (Serres, Genesis 2); it is an aggregate or "a set undefined by elements or boundaries.
		To illustrate the nature of his contemporaneity that seems to situate him outside of time, Serres points once again to Lucretius who, in his own time, really was already thinking in terms of flux, turbulence, and chaos, and, second, that through this, he is part of our era, which is rethinking similar problems.

		Although he has received the highest recognition by official institutions (he was, in fact, elected to the Académie Francaise in 1990), his colleagues from the various disciplines still look at his work with suspicion and he remains a solitary thinker.
		It is my belief that the difficulties encountered by Michel Serres' writing in its reception highlight the difficulties encountered by any serious discourse which tries to bridge science and the humanities within today's world of compartimentalized disciplines.
		The second aspect is Serres' frequent use of mythical tales, together with everyday language, instead of technical jargon.

	Powell's Books - Genesis (95 Edition) by Michel Serres (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		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.
