Future Christ is one of the first English translations of the work
of Francois Laruelle, one of the most exciting voices in
contemporary French philosophy and the creator of the practice of
'non-philosophy'. In this work Laruelle draws on material from the
traditions of Christianity, Judaism and Gnosticism, but he does so
by suspending their authority. This adventure in non-philosophy
does not claim to think for religion, but from it as material and
with disinterest towards its self-given status as ultimate
authority. This provocative, yet remarkably accessible book
introduces philosophy to the lessons of heresy and makes use of
them in a non-philosophical "dualysis" of messianism and
apocalypticism. Laruelle investigates the "heretic question",
analogous to but historically distinguished from the "Jewish
question", to develop a "non-Christian science" that struggles
against and for our World. Future Christ thus opens up novel ways
of thinking within existing religious and philosophical thought and
marks an incisive and wide-ranging non-philosophical engagement
with key contemporary debates in philosophy and theology.
