Michel Serres in his review of Prigogine & Stengers, La Nouvelle Aliiance: "This world is worried. It is full of blurred clouds, rapid arms of flame, complicated turbulences, fractal grains, breaking breezes, catastrophes, surges, mixtures, pulsations."

"Paradoxically, it is by making the subject exist as the exemplary object that the subject is saved as subject. Idealism is the short circuit on the informational channel going from the subject to the object or from the object to the subject."

Michel Serres: "Weavers, spinners, Penelope or someone like her, once seemed to me to be the first geometers, because their art or craft explores or exploits space by means of knots, proximities and continuities, because their tactile manipulations anticipate topology."

“They come from a tradition that thinks big and bold.” Remembering immortel Michel Serres and the "grand récit" at Stanford.

Remembering the greats: Michel Serres, the long-time Stanford visiting professor who died at 89 in 2019. My May 26, 2009 article about the 'immortel' is worth a revisit. Film clip included below, too.
