In Serres' universal economy, value is considered as a function of rarity, not as a stock of resources. This book demonstrates how Michel Serres has developed an architectonics that is coefficient with nature. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eMathematic and Information in the Philosophy of Michel Serres\u003c\/i\u003e acquaints the reader with Serres' monist manner of addressing the universality and the power of knowledge - that is at once also the anonymous and empty faculty of incandescent, inventive thought. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe chapters of the book demarcate, problematize and contextualize some of the epistemologically unsettling situations Serres addresses, whilst also examining the particular manner in which he responds to and converses with these situations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Vera Bühlmann\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/20\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Michel Serres and Material Futures\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.2lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.63d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350019768","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44365832552585,"sku":"9781350019768","price":135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_a77d9e98-d8b2-4df3-9493-91c871d8813c.jpg?v=1751347044","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/mathematics-and-information-in-the-philosophy-of-michel-serres-9781350019768","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
