This is the insider's guide through the difficult terrain of
Laruelle's most complete development of non philosophy. Francois
Laruelle has been engaged in one of the most daring projects in
contemporary philosophy, aiming to overturn the standard form of
philosophy and renew its practice again. However, he grew
dissatisfied with the purely critical form of his work as it seemed
to simply subordinate philosophy to science and so simply reversed
the old hierarchy. In Principles of Non Philosophy Laruelle
develops the concepts and method of a more democratic form of
thought where neither science nor philosophy is subjected to one
another, but brought together in a more productive theoretical and
practical relationship. While the potential importance of this
project is clear, Laruelle remains famously difficult. Anthony Paul
Smith provides an introduction and guide to the text that situates
you amongst the figures and concepts Laruelle engaged with,
provides a foothold for your own understanding and, more
importantly, potential use of the project of non philosophy. It
provides you with the essential the historical background to non
philosophy, which Laruelle leaves out of his writing. It explains
how non philosophy contributes to contemporary debates in European
philosophy, especially in relation to the philosophy of science,
theories of the subject and the role of language in philosophy. It
shows how non philosophy can be a useful research paradigm for
interdisciplinary or transdisciplinary work.
