Francois Laruelle's non-philosophy or non-standard philosophy
represents a bold attempt to rethink how philosophy is practiced in
relation to other domains of knowledge. There is a growing interest
in Laruelle's work in the English-speaking world, but his work is
often misunderstood as a wholesale critique of philosophy. In this
book Anthony Paul Smith dispels this misunderstanding and shows how
Laruelle's critique of philosophy is guided by the positive aim of
understanding philosophy's structure so that it can be creatively
recast with other discourses and domains of human knowledge, from
politics and ethics to science and religion. This book provides a
synthetic introduction to the whole of Laruelle's work. It begins
by discussing the major concepts and methods that have framed
non-philosophy for thirty years. Smith then goes on to show how
those concepts and method enter into traditional philosophical
domains and disempower the authoritarian framework that philosophy
imposes upon them. Instead of offering a philosophy of politics or
a philosophy of science, Laruelle aims at fostering a democracy of
thought where philosophy is thought together and equal to the
object of its inquiry. This book will be essential reading for
students and scholars interested in contemporary French philosophy,
and anyone who wants to discover more about one of its foremost
practitioners.
