Exploring the deleterious effects of the systematic downgrading of the systems in Western philosophy, Michel Serres traces a topology of human perception. Writing against the Cartesian tradition and in praise of empiricism, he demonstrates the sterility of systems of knowledge divorced from bodily experience.
