Foundations: The First Book
GUARANTEED SAFE CHECKOUT
In his 'foundations trilogy', Michel Serres delves into the concept of beginnings. He not only examines the origins of Rome, but also explores the beginnings of society, knowledge, and culture. Through his characteristic breadth and lyrical style, Serres takes the reader on a journey from the roots of scientific knowledge to set theory and aesthetics. By delving into themes such as violence, murder, sacrifice, and hospitality, he urges us to steer clear of repeating the violent acts of founding.
Rome offers an alternative and creative analysis of Livy's Ab urbe condita, shedding light on issues of history, repetition, and imitation. Originally published in English in 1991, this new edition features a re-translation and introduction, making Michel Serres' Rome a contemporary classic that illuminates the foundations of our current way of life.
