The first collection of critical essays on the work of this most original thinkerFrançois 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.Key featuresProvides an overview of Laruelle's thought and an understanding of his contemporary relevance to contextualise his work for new readersContains an exclusive interview with Laruelle and a new essay written by Laruelle himselfIncludes a bibliography of Laruelle's work and secondary literature
