Description: This book represents a defining break in Michel Serres' work, leaving behind traditional philosophy to explore the history and culture of science.
Brief description: Margaret Sankey is the McCaughey Professor of French Studies at the University of Sydney, Australia, and joint translator of The Anthropological Structures of the Imaginary by the French sociologist Gilbert Durand.
Review Quotes: "Finding a voice that is brilliantly sustained, warm and assured, Margaret Sankey and Peter Cowley meet the challenges of Serres' shifts of register between prose poetry and high-frequency allusions to philosophy and the sciences and literature classical and modern." - Max Deutscher, Emeritus Professor of Philosophy, Macquarie University, Australia
