A Biography of Ordinary Man is a foundational text for our
understanding of Francois Laruelle, one of France s leading
thinkers, whose ideas have emerged as an important touchstone for
contemporary theoretical discussions across multiple disciplines.
One of Laruelle s earliest systematic elaborations of his ethical
and "non-philosophical" thought, this critical dialogue with some
of the dominant voices of continental philosophy, including
Nietzsche, Heidegger, Foucault, Deleuze, and Derrida, offers a
rigorous science of individuals as minorities or as separated from
the World, History, and Philosophy. Through novel theorizations of
finitude and determination in the last instance, Laruelle develops
a thought "of the One" as a "minoritarian" paradigm that resists
those paradigms that foreground difference as the conceptual matrix
for understanding the status of the minority. The critique of the
"unitary illusion" of philosophy developed here stands at the
foundation of Laruelle s approach to "uni-lateralizing" the power
of philosophy and the universals with which it has always thought,
and thereby acts as a basis for his subsequent investigations of
victims, mysticism, and Gnosticism. This book will appeal to the
many students and scholars interested in Continental Philosophy and
in the development of Laruelle s thought, as well as to students
and scholars in the philosophy of religion, ethics, aesthetics and
cultural theory.
