Publisher Description: This collection of 12 essays includes an exclusive interview with Laruelle, a new essay by him and a bibliography. It is an indispensable guide for those seeking an overview of his thought as well as an understanding of its contemporary relevance. François Laruelle is one of the most important French philosophers of the last 20 years, and as his texts have become available in English there has been a rising tide of interest in his work, particularly on the concept of 'Non-Philosophy'. Non-philosophy radically rethinks many of the most cutting-edge concepts such as immanence, pluralism, resistance, science, democracy, decisionism, Marxism, theology and materialism. It also expands our view of what counts as philosophical thought, through art, science and politics, and beyond to fields as varied as film, animality and material objects. |
