In Principles of Non-Philosophy, Laruelle develops the concepts and method of a more democratic form of thought where neither science nor philosophy is subjected to one another, but brought together in a more productive theoretical and practical relationship. While the potential importance of this project is clear, Laruelle remains famously difficult. Anthony Paul Smith provides an introduction and guide to the text that situates you amongst the figures and concepts Laruelle engaged with, provides a foothold for your own understanding and, more importantly, potential use of the project of non-philosophy.
Francois Laruelle is one of the most radical and challenging of contemporary thinkers. In this book, Anthony Paul Smith provides a road map to Laruelle, guiding us through the rough terrain of the French thinker's "non-philosophy." There are many surprising prospects to be encountered here, as well as the sense of wonder that comes from seeing familiar ideas in an entirely new light. -- Steven Shaviro, Wayne State University
