A crucial text in the development of Francois Laruelle's oeuvre and
an excellent starting point for understanding his broader project,
Philosophies of Difference offers a theoretical and critical
analysis of the philosophers of difference after Hegel and
Nietzsche. Laruelle then uses this analysis to introduce a new
theoretical practice of non-philosophical thought. Rather than
presenting a narrative historical overview, Laruelle provides a
series of rigorous critiques of the various interpretations of
difference in Hegel, Nietzsche and Deleuze, Heidegger and Derrida.
From Laruelle's innovative theoretical perspective, the forms of
philosophical difference that emerge appear as variations upon a
unique, highly abstract structure of philosophical decision, the
self-posing and self-legitimating essence of philosophy itself.
Reconceived in terms of philosophical decision, the seemingly
radical concept of philosophical difference is shown to configure
rather the identity of philosophy as such, which thus becomes
manifest as a contingent and no longer absolute form of thinking.
The way is thereby opened for initiating a new form of thought,
anticipated here with the development of a key notion of
non-philosophy, the Vision-in-One.
