Religion Rereading What Is Bound Together

"A stunning book by one of the most profound and original philosophers of science of the twentieth century, written in the final moments that separate life from death. Michel Serres realized that the whole of his thought over the course of an astonishingly prolific career would be incomplete if it did not take into account the indispensable role played by religion in every aspect of human life, and he tells us why in his own inimitable way."-Jean-Pierre Dupuy, Professor Emeritus of Philosophy, École Polytechnique, Paris "Serres' work is... every bit as much a plea and petition as it is an explication.... [I]t is an attempt to articulate (from the heart, as it were), why religion is crucial in our day and age."-Jeffrey A. Bernsetin, Journal for Continental Philosophy of Religion "If René Girard is a hedgehog who knows one big thing (in the saying of Archilochus), his longtime friend and colleague Michel Serres is more of a fox who knows many things."-Curtis Gruenler, Bulletin of the Colloquium on Violence and Religion
