François Laruelle
François Laruelle (/lɑːrˈwɛl/; French: [fʁɑ̃swa laʁɥɛl] ⓘ; born 22 August 1937) is a French philosopher, formerly of the Collège international de philosophie and the University of Paris X: Nanterre.
See Wikipedia: François Laruelle.
Laruelle is notable for developing a science of philosophy that he calls non-philosophy. He currently directs an international organisation dedicated to furthering the cause of non-philosophy, the Organisation Non-Philosophique Internationale.
Some consider Laruelle a precursor to metamodernism, due to his advocation of trans-rational epistemological practices, as well as his anti-dogmatic practices which echo Hanzi Freinacht's "Awareness of Allergies".[1]
Non-philosophy
Laruelle claims that all forms of philosophy (from ancient philosophy to analytic philosophy to deconstruction and so on) are structured around a prior decision, but that all forms of philosophy remain constitutively blind to this decision. The 'decision' that Laruelle is concerned with here is the dialectical splitting of the world in order to grasp the world philosophically. Laruelle claims that the decisional structure of philosophy can only be grasped non-philosophically. In this sense, non-philosophy is a science of philosophy. Laruellean (non)ethics is "radically de-anthropocentrized, fundamentally directed towards a universalized, auto-effective set of generic conditions."
