Abstract:
Mathematics and Information in the Philosophy of Michel Serres introduces the reader to Serres´ unique manner of `doing philosophy´, namely, as a novel manner of bearing witness. It demonstrates the reality of intellectual courage at work in Serres´ oeuvre that crucially involves mathematical thinking, and that makes possible a novel kind of dialogue in the world, not just on the world. Discourse around such dialogue thoughtfully articulates the principle of `the priceless´, folding it into an architectonics that is coefficient with nature.
Situating Serres´ universalist yet plural reading of knowledge as power, at the same time reveals it as coextensive with anonymous, incandescent and inventive thought. Vera Bühlmann´s work acquaints the reader with some of the epistemologically unsettling situations in contemporary science and technology that Serres addressed, formulating the original concept of `Quantum Literacy´ to examine the particular way in which he responded to these situations.
