Book review: Laruelle and non-philosophy

"Laruelle and Non-Philosophy." John Mullarkey and Anthony Paul Smith (eds.). Edinburgh University Press. July 2012. --- Presenting critical essays on the work of arguably one of the most important French philosophers of the last 20 years, this collection provides an overview of Laruelle’s thought and an understanding of his contemporary relevance. Aiming to challenge concepts such as immanence, pluralism, resistance, science, democracy, Marxism, theology and materialism, Laruelle’s concept of ‘non-philosophy’ also expands our view of what counts as philosophical thought, through art, science and politics, and beyond.
