| Abstract | |
This thesis seeks to demonstrate how Michel Serres¿s philosophy constitutes a substantive approach to multiplicities as a communication theory. We consider that this communication theory approach to multiplicities could contribute to thinking of a philosophy of education project that fosters an ungrounding (effondement) of education. It is an ungrounding of education since that philosophy tensions the classic subject-object and knowledge-action pairs, removing them from the position of categories of totality. Such a project would, in turn, be in better consonance with the contemporary education challenges that Serres¿s philosophy sees in what he terms the Thumbelina generation and that make the traditional educational directives confront the need for education as a relation in difference. To do so, this thesis is divided into five chapters. The first one is a presentation of Serres¿s life and works based, above all, on the recurrent presence of characters in the whole of his oeuvre. Afterwards, it addresses the concepts of a philosophy of multiplicities as a theory of immanence, with which Serres¿s philosophy is thought to have a connection. In this regard, the second and third chapters lay the conceptual framework which this thesis addresses and which draws on Deleuze¿s and Serres¿s respective readings of Leibniz¿s philosophy, demonstrating the possibilities and limitations of that classic in the approach to multiplicities in principle. Lastly, the fourth and fifth chapters endeavor to map Serres¿s philosophy of multiplicities as a communication theory and to envisage how it could contribute to thinking of a philosophy of education project that ungrounds education (AU) | |
