Although little known today, Raymond Ruyer was a post-World War II
French philosopher whose works and ideas were significant
influences on major thinkers, including Deleuze, Guattari, and
Simondon. With the publication of this translation of Neofinalism,
considered by many to be Ruyer's magnum opus, English-language
readers can see at last how this seminal mind allied philosophy
with science. Unfazed by the idea of philosophy ending where
science began, Ruyer elaborated a singular, nearly unclassifiable
metaphysics and reactivated philosophy's capacity to reflect on its
canonical questions: What exists? How are we to account for life?
What is the status of subjectivity? And how is freedom possible? Ha
Neofinalism offers a systematic and lucidly argued treatise that
deploys the innovative concepts of self-survey, form, and absolute
surface to shape a theory of the virtual and the transspatial. It
also makes a compelling plea for a renewed appreciation of the
creative activity that organizes spatiotemporal structures and
makes possible the emergence of real beings in a dynamic universe.
