The Past is No Longer Out-of-Date [1995]
Michel Serres has pursued the path of the polymath with the sort of unswerving dedication usually only found in arch specialists. Serres’ work is an extraordinary testimony to the possibilities opened up when science and literature come together. One of Michel Serres’ most insightful ideas is also uncannily simple: it is the idea that the past hasn't finished with the reader. On the one hand, there's the gradual disappearance of great authors – t…
Religion
With this profound final work, completed in the days leading up to his death, Michel Serres presents a vivid picture of his thinking about religion—a constant preoccupation since childhood—thereby completing Le Grand Récit , the comprehensive explanation of the world and of humanity to which he devoted the last twenty years of his life. Themes from Serres's earlier writings—energy and information, the role of the media in modern society, the anth…
Branches
Despite being one of France’s most enduring and popular philosophers, Branches is the first English translation of what has been identified as Michel Serres’ key text on humanism. In attempting to reconcile humanity and nature, Serres examines how human history ‘branches’ off from its origin story. Using the metaphor of a branch springing from the stem and arguing that the branch’s originality derives its format, Serres identifies dogmatic philos…

Avant-propos. Ressource et ressourcement
Texte établi par François Collart Dutilleul sous la supervision et avec l’accord de publication de Michel Serres, à partir d’un premier manuscrit dédié par ce dernier au programme Lascaux en novembre 2013 et une intervention orale faite lors d’une rencontre publique entre chercheurs, organisations de la société civile et citoyens en février 2017 (texte de l'éditeur)

Raconter l'histoire
Penseur et conteur du « grand récit » du monde, Michel Serres relève qu'il est fait de commencements imprévisibles. Vivre dans la contingence fait apparaître le rôle de la liberté. Un des commencements les plus significatifs est la naissance virginale du Christ

La saine famille
Pour l'Église catholique, et pour elle seule sans doute, la famille n'est plus et ne peut plus être le fondement de la société civile, juridique ou politique. Pour elle seule, car son revirement révolutionnaire permit, en Europe, l'établissement d'une politique et d'un droit tels que nous les vivons encore aujourd'hui. Dans cette libre relecture, Michel Serres démontre la portée subversive des Évangiles dont nous sommes les héritiers

In this paper from the book Les origines de la géométrie (The origins of geometry), subtitled tiers livre des fondations (third book of foundations) (Serres, 1993, Flammarion, Paris), I argue that the history of the sciences and, in particular, the history of mathematics cannot be written using the tools and models of traditional historiography. Rather, I claim that there is a need for a science of history that takes seriously what I see as a rad…

Le système de Leibniz et ses modèles mathématiques
Leibniz est de notre temps, il est notre prédécesseur. Il a commencé de construire le monde où nous vivons, il l’a reconnu avant nous, mieux que nous. Nos mathématiques naissent avec lui, nos sciences physiques sont prévues par lui, nos réseaux de communication, nos stocks de données, nos arts du signe et du langage... sont déjà dans ses écrits, ainsi que les terres où ces formes s’incarnent. Leibniz habite nos débuts, il hante nos achèvements. S…
The parasite
"Influential philosopher Michel Serres's foundational work uses fable to explore how human relations are identical to that of the parasite to the host body. Among Serres's arguments is that by being pests, minor groups can become major players in public dialogue - creating diversity and complexity vital to human life and thought."--Book cover

Le concept de Nature
Qu’appeler Nature, sinon un ensemble, une somme de naissances, selon le participe futur naturus, au feminin natura, du verbe latin nascor : ce qui va naitre, ce qui est en train ou sur le point de naitre. Nature : la nouvelle-nee
I. Bryce-Hell II. Fontenelle, Troubadour of Knowledge
First the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but: wind, rain, ice, hail, and finally drought under an intense sun, eroding the red rock of the canyon over the course of long eras. Different in duration here and there, the most resistant of it remains—hence these thousands of aligned, vertical needles. End of the visit, let's get in the car and head out to go to bed

Le Contrat Naturel
A partir du constat de l'impact des activites humaines sur l'equilibre global de la planete, Michel Serres demontre l'irruption du Monde comme acteur majeur de l'Histoire.

Hominescence
According to Michel Serres, a process of 'hominescence' has taken place throughout human history. Hominescence can be described as a type of adolescence; humanity in a state of growing, a state of constant change, on the threshold of something unpredictable. We are destined never to be the same again but what will does the future hold? In this innovative and passionately original work of philosophy, Serres describes the future of man as an adoles…

The Natural Contract
Global environmental change, argues Michel Serres, has forced us to reconsider our relationship to nature. In this translation of his influential 1990 book Le Contrat Naturel , Serres calls for a to be negotiated between Earth and its inhabitants. World history is often referred to as the story of human conflict. Those struggles that are seen as our history must now include the uncontrolled violence that humanity perpetrates upon the earth, and t…
Literature and the Exact Sciences
I believe that every body of literature, and more broadly, the sum of all academic, literary and popular traditions, anecdotes and songs, old wives' tales, sayings and cliches, beliefs, myths, languages, and even religions, form a sort of reserve, a stock, the local treasure of ethnic groups, of cultures, of diverse groups, and that these constitute, in addition, the global treasure of mankind, accumulated in a fluctuating and unstable way throug…

The Origin of Language
An organism is a system. The notion of system changes through history; it occupies different positions within the encyclopedia. This notion may be logico-mathematical: a coherent set of demonstrable propositions deduced from a small number of postulates. One speaks in this way of a system of axioms or a system of differential equations. For Descartes, Spinoza, or Leibniz, this is the classical ideal of knowledge. The notion of system may also be …

Boston, January 17th, 1950, sky 38% cloudy, cirro cumulus. A depression was announced over the Atlantic; it was moving from West to East toward an anticyclone situated over Russia, and so far showed no signs of avoiding it by swerving to the north. The isotherms and isotheres fulfilled their obligations. Robert Musil publishes in 1931 the first volume of The Man Without Qualities. From the first chapter, remarkably enough, nothing follows.

India (The Black and the Archipelago) on Fire
We imagine a cloud of atoms as a disintegrated coherence or as one to be formed. The dispersion of spars beneath the hurricane, the decomposition of bodies at the Athens plague, the primitive aggregation at the dawn of Clinamen. Born of dust and returned to dust. Each thing grasped in the cycle of pulverulence and formation, of fermentation and putrescence. Direct experience imposes basic facts. Most solids do not melt in water, whence the call o…

Le Retour Éternel
Les philosophes font gloire à Nietzsche d'avoir soudainement renoué avec la Grécité par son intuition fulgurante du retour éternel. Par ignorance de l'éthique ou incompréhension de la figure générale que cette thèse prend dans sa philosophie, je me réduis à la vision du monde. Vision au sens de voir, et monde au sens de monde. Tout simplement.Si le temps est compté sur la géométrie des figures par les interceptions optiques et la mécanique des mo…

exactitude, this perfect utopia outside the world without which knowledge will only be laughable, only be an accumulation, a copy. To be sure, no one has ever seen, touched, felt, heard, nor tasted this strange non-sensible space, no one has ever experienced the curious objects which fill it, and yet we know nothing about our world without that space and without these objects. It is pure utopia, and the objects of the world are gathered in it. If…

Apprentissage, voyage, métissage
La pédagogie c'est, en grec, le «voyage des enfants», c'est la traversée du fleuve avec, au milieu, l'expérience de l'apprentissage et sur l'autre rive un esprit «troisième», fait de ce qu'il était, de ce qu'il est et de ce qu'il a expérimenté entre les deux. Le métissage est avant tout ce passage, souvent effrayant, toujours enrichissant. Arrivé à destination, le voyageur restera fidèle à ce qu'il a quitté tout en adoptant de nouvelles mœurs, de…

market economy, as an efficient and supple network, with connectors and interconnections, works like a big computer-it accomplishes, organizes and foresees everything. The market is always right, even in its destructiveness, says Pantope. It is an invisible god whose unseen hand knows nothing of Providence nor consolation. We are victims of its fate, sighs Pia. As a network even more strongly connected than the market economy, the living and phys…
