Reviews

This book definitely fills a gap in the scholarly literature. There did not yet exist a book on the resonances between the philosophies of Michel Serres and Gilles Deleuze, resonances that clearly exist and that were also confirmed by Michel Serres himself in the 1995 interview with Hari Kunzru.[1] Filling this gap, this edited volume at the same time helps to relieve the lack of extended scholarly literature on the work of Michel Serres in particular.
