List of works by Michel Serres

From a static world to a dynamic one: the birth of a new physics.
We often look at ancient science as merely the rudimentary starting point of modern science.
This is because we are accustomed to the common notion that the history of science has developed linearly through a series of discovery of laws.
But Ser challenges this traditional view head-on.
He emphasizes that atoms are not simply solid lumps, but rather unpredictably displaced, constantly swirling and flowing entities.
These fluid properties that Serga read into ancient atomism are strikingly consistent with the fundamental ideas of modern chaos theory and complexity research.
This is supported by the fact that modern scientific giants such as Nobel Prize winners Erwin Schrödinger and Ilya Prigogine were inspired by Lucretius.
This book reveals that the birth of physics was not a time of fixed laws, but rather a turbulent moment that celebrated the turbulence and irregularity of reality.

The Hidden Origins of Bruno Latour's Thought
Michel Serres was not simply a giant in the history of science.
He is also the intellectual mentor of Bruno Latour, who had a huge influence on modern philosophy.
The core ideas of Latour's representative theory, Actor-Network Theory, originate from Serres's thought.
The concept of the 'Northwest Passage (passage du Nord-Ouest)' proposed by Serres signifies a passage that breaks down the boundaries between academic disciplines and enables communication.
This provided crucial inspiration for Latour's exploration of the complex networks between human and non-human actors.
Just as Serres's physics emphasizes the indeterminate and unpredictable movements of atoms, Latour's theory sees society and science as formed not by pre-determined rules, but in a dynamic network of interacting actors.
In this way, The Birth of Physics is a book that touches not only the history of science but also the deep roots of modern social theory.

Today, experience a new flow of thought.

This book is not simply a retrospective on ancient knowledge.
Rather, it has the power to make us fundamentally rethink science, history, and the materiality of life.
Michel Serres' poetic yet scientific perspective allows us to see the world not as a static mass, but as a field of constantly changing and generating forces.
If you want to break free from stereotypes, understand the unpredictable dynamics of the world, and dive into the complex flow of thought, Michel Serres' monumental work is a must-read.
This book will transform our perspective on the world we live in into a richer and more dynamic one.
