François Laruelle
philosopher · 2 mentions across 1 reading
In this course
Laruelle is a French philosopher of non-philosophy who critiques the totalizing impulse of philosophical systems and deconstruction alike, arguing instead for a unilateral determination that escapes the closure of thought. In the course readings, Laruelle appears primarily through secondary engagement—Kolozova and Cornell invoke his work to theorize how subjects and reality might be thought outside the self-referential loops of poststructuralist philosophy. His *Principles of Non-Philosophy* becomes a methodological resource for thinking alterity and subjectivity without relapsing into the very systemic binds (sameness/difference, self/other) that deconstruction attempts to undo.
