<br>Serres and Foundations
<br>
<br>
<br>While Michel Serres’ work has become relatively well-known among social
<br>theoreticians in recent years, his explicit thematization of the
<br>foundations of human collectives has gained surprisingly little
<br>attention. This article claims that Serres’ approach to the theme of
<br>foundations can be clarified by scrutinizing the way in which he poses
<br>and answers the following three questions: How are we together? What and
<br>whom do we exclude from our togetherness and how? Who are we
<br>today?//Instead of starting with a ready-made order, be it on the scale
<br>and form of individuals or society, Serres pushes social research to
<br>take up the challenge of examining the point at which order is about to
<br>emerge out of noise and chaos, but where the outcome of the process
<br>remains uncertain. Especially relevant to the discussion are Serres’
<br>books /Rome, Statues /and/Geometry, /all three of which bear the
<br>subtitle /Book of Foundations./
