Zusammenfassung:This paper is concerned with Michel Serres's critique of property. Through the concept of "le propre," which in French can mean both "clean" and "one's own," and a naturalist reading of Rousseau, he proposes a "stercorian" eco-criticism of property. Focusing on concepts of limits provides a fruitful angle from which to illuminate Serres's critique of law and property. The first section will introduce Serres as a thinker of limits, borders, and boundaries. In the second and third parts, attention will be drawn to his eco-criticism of law and property from a feminist and philosophy of science perspective, concluding with a fourth part, in which Serres's approach will be contextualized in relation to other naturalisms. His work has far-reaching consequences for discourses of human agency in the context of the Anthropocene and makes a crucial contribution to how a new naturalist criticism of property might be conceived.
