Non-philosophy is neither a school nor a method, and it is not simply another way of doing philosophy by other means. Mullarkey and Smith demonstrate this in their selection of essays for this volume; each essay refuses the traditional explanatory or representational functions of philosophy, preferring to see thought as co-extensive with a real in which it is imbricated.

Produktbeschreibung
Non-philosophy is neither a school nor a method, and it is not simply another way of doing philosophy by other means. Mullarkey and Smith demonstrate this in their selection of essays for this volume; each essay refuses the traditional explanatory or representational functions of philosophy, preferring to see thought as co-extensive with a real in which it is imbricated. A welcome addition to the growing engagement with Laruelle and non-philosophy. Eugene Thacker, The New School The first collection of essays in English on the work of this most original thinker 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 in 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, politics, and beyond into fields as varied as film, animality and material objects. 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. John Mullarkey is Professor of Film and Television at Kingston University. Anthony Paul Smith is Assistant Professor in Religion at La Salle University.
