Recenzii
What happens when we take mathematics not as the elementary basis upon which science must bloom, but as an 'architectonics' that unfolds the world as it informs mass, space and time? With great rigor, in content and style, Bühlmann reads the concepts that Michel Serres produced in his oeuvre through his mathematics and information theory, revealing his highly original, inclusive and affirmative philosophy of the 21st century.
The importance of Serres' philosophy has mostly gone unrecognized in continental philosophy, even though this philosopher had a critical influence on many of its key figures, such as Deleuze and Foucault. The dearth of informed commentary is now reduced by this scholar whose knowledge of mathematics is able to bridge both the analytical and continental traditions.
