Principles Of Non-Philosophy

Principles of Non-Philosophy is a treatise on the method, axioms and objectives of non-philosophy and represents François Laruelle's mature philosophy. As well as presenting the method and principles of non-philosophy, it includes a history of the development of non-philosophy, a novel conception of science, a discussion of non-philosophical causality and new theories of the subject and object of thought. Providing an introduction to Laruelle's novel theory of 'non-epistemology' or 'unified theory of thought', this volumes challenges the way we think about the traditional philosophical problems.Bringing together all the elements of his thought developed over twenty years and laying the foundations for his later work, Principles of Non-Philosophy is arguably Laruelle's magnum opus.

This is an important work of transition, a key text from Laruelle’s negative scientistic phase, where Laruelle breaks free from the principle of "sufficiency" that determines standard academic philosophy. Laruelle’s negative phase of “non-philosophy” must be understood and assimilated before we can hope to understand his more recent positive achievements. His PRINCIPLES OF NON-PHILOSOPHY is an essential step on the way to his later more positive works, e.g. NON-STANDARD PHILOSOPHY and CHRISTO-FICTION.François Laruelle, like other contemporary Continental thinkers such as Bruno Latour and Bernard Stiegler, found that there remains something undeconstructed at the core of recent deconstructionist and post-structuralist philosophies. This guiding intuition of Laruelle’s will finally be fully elaborated in the more thoroughgoing “quantum” deconstruction and reconstruction of his later work.Laruelle is not "against" philosophy, but only against the pretention to mastery and completeness that pervades it. Nor is he against rigour, as this book demonstrates very clearly. He does not situate his work outside philosophy as its destruction or replacement. Rather his aim is to track down and to suspend philosophy's limitations under the principle of sufficiency so as to make possible a freer "non-standard" philosophy.
