Description

New work by world-renowned French thinker translated by Sydney-based Gazebo Books.

In Around the world with writers, scientists and philosophers, world-renowned philosopher Michel Serres takes us on a voyage that unveils a different map than the geographical or political world maps we are accustomed to. Using the tools of the ethnologist, Serres examines our Western cultures to reveal that our influential writers, philosophers, scientists and inventors have a worldview analogous to that of First Peoples.

This thought-provoking book takes on the form of an ode to curiosity to reveal the Great Story of the emergence and wandering of humanity.

Michel Serres is considered one of the most influential thinkers of recent decades. He was a member of France's Académie Française and professor at Stanford University. He is the author of numerous essays on philosophy and the history of science.
