In this first English translation of his work, Laruelle explores
the major European thinkers from Nietzsche to Derrida to define his
own 'non-philosophical' project. 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.
