"Reveals a previously unseen side of Michel Serres—the 'pilgrim-philosopher'—and sheds new light on his body of work."

Man of letters and philosopher of science Michel Serres is well-known for his study of contemporary culture and technology Thumbelina. Less internationally known, though often commented on in France, is a side of him he dubs the "pilgrim of the absolute." Anne Baudart, a philosopher and close friend, is here to rectify that situation. Her book introduces a thinker haunted by the notion of incarnation, who since his dissertation on Leibniz has striven to connect God and Creation—for the latter, in neighboring death and reinventing life, may also "be called resurrection."
