Of new things? Of having to face brutal difficulties? Since their advent, the Universe, living beings, and humanity have incessantly created necessary laws and unpredictable events. For Michel Serres, novelty arises from form, just as a branch sprouts from a stem. Fallible and inventive, the Son originates from the Father, who dictates dogmas and laws. In \"Ramos,\" based on the realization that it is urgent to reinvent the universality of human relationships with the planetary totality, Serres encourages us to rethink everyday life without distinctions between sciences, arts, cultures, and religions. It is the fourth volume of the tetralogy formed by the titles \"Variations on the Body\" (1999), \"Hominescences\" (2001), and \"The Incandescent\" (2003). Divided into two parts, \"System\" and \"Narrative,\" it is an optimistic essay that leads the reader to reflect on everyday actions, which only seemingly seem restricted to the monotonous repetition of patterns, rhythms, codes, numbers, and notes. The first part revolves around the idea of format, which is present in all segments of daily life: at home, at work, in affectivity, and in politics. The roots that sustain the format-father, the science-daughter, and the adopted son condition the overall perception of the Grand Narrative in which we are all inserted. In the second part, Serres delves into the universal tree of events. Artists, scientists, and philosophers, even haunted by various difficulties, never give up imagining, inventing, and designing. Thus, there are always new things, challenges, and ramifications. As the author affirms, evolution always ends up producing a producer of evolution. Michel Serres proposes a stimulating reinterpretation of the history of thought in which science, culture, arts, and religions ultimately converge. A celebration of life and a message of hope for future generations, it is a book that helps us understand and love the restlessness of the present.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47174841139452,"sku":"9788528613377","price":59.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/dd88eb41c255f2d787a475f74062ec16_9df5f56f-5b02-4c99-b52f-b4de92548bdd.jpg?v=1778312647"},{"product_id":"polegarzinha","title":"Thumbelina","description":"\"\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eThe world has changed so much that young people need to reinvent the wheel.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eContrary to what it might seem, the title of Michel Serres's work, \u003cem\u003e\"Thumbelina\u003c\/em\u003e ,\" does not refer to Andersen's famous tale, but to today's young people who cannot disconnect from the virtual world and whose greatest companion is their cell phone.

In this spectacular work, Michel Serres tells us one of the world's longest narratives, a story in which men and women, who once left Africa, find themselves today, tens of thousands of years after their separation. It is neither linear nor predictable. The author explains how he himself was unable to cross the immense birthplace continent on foot and why we no longer believe in the history of homelands and nations. Serres also explores topics such as why Orpheus let his Eurydice escape; the indispensable work to which the nine Muses dedicated themselves; how sailors voluntarily became lions and mosquitoes; why Assyrian statues have wings and hooves; how the Aztec gods combine feathers and fur; and, finally, why Eve was disobedient in paradise. In short, in this work, he discusses how the human race became successful or failed. Unable to define Man, the author narrates him, and these various narratives outline a new humanism. In Narratives of Humanism, the marriage of stories and knowledge is celebrated.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47175433257212,"sku":"9788528619119","price":69.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/43658cbcca1ae41648f248157dfa42c9_80bd2b26-f191-4dbb-b812-83ffe6f0cab1.jpg?v=1778326261"},{"product_id":"julio-verne-a-ciencia-e-o-homem-contemporaneo","title":"JULES VERNE: SCIENCE AND CONTEMPORARY MAN","description":"Jules Verne – Science and Contemporary Man is a dialogue between Michel Serres and Jean-Paul Dekiss that takes the reader on a journey through the work of the author of Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea.

Why is it necessary to pollute? *Clean Evil* – Pollute to Appropriate? answers this question by addressing not only questions of chemistry, physics, and the environment, but also simply human projects of appropriation. According to Serres, appropriation is a human necessity, but those who claim a piece of land often have to fight against a rival who also desires the same good. Acts of pollution correspond to an expansion of space they can no longer possess. And this pollution concerns not only the physical aspect, but also the psychological, such as advertising campaigns. *Clean Evil* is a book of simple and contemporary philosophy that addresses a topic that affects us all. In it, the author strives to change and broaden human perspectives, because understanding pollution also requires understanding human beings as a whole: their history, behavior, and psychology. Can we rethink a new contract, accept that each person is merely a tenant, and remove the layers of waste to reveal the beauty of the world? This requires considerable effort, but it's about survival, defending priceless resources like water, air, fire, land, and living beings, and moving toward a new freedom.

With extreme narrative skill, Serres shows that war is a legal institution due to historical causes, but also due to the existence of a \"declaration of war,\" a right to a \"ceasefire,\" or even treaties determining the end of hostilities. Furthermore, according to the author, war is a regulated institution, unlike terrorism, which is, by definition, undeclared, has no identity, and has no fixed timeframe.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47175782367484,"sku":"9788528615036","price":54.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":false}]},{"product_id":"tempo-de-crise","title":"Tempo de crise","description":"A mais recente crise capitalista ocorreu devido à crescente discrepância entre as grandes transformações sociais e as instituições que permanecem inalteradas desde a Segunda Guerra Mundial.
