From the black universe

on the human foundations of color

Abstract

François Laruelle is a French philosopher, emeritus professor at the University of Paris X (Nanterre), and director of the Organisation Non-Philosophique Internationale. He has gained recognition primarily for the concept of "non-philosophy," a theoretical and performative gesture that seeks to rescue thought from the philosophical decisional act. Among his published works are Machines textuelles: Déconstruction et libido d’écriture (Seuil, 1976), Principes de la non-philosophie (PUF, 1996), Introduction au non-marxisme (PUF, 2000), Le Christ futur. Une leçon d'hérésie (Exils, 2002), and Tetralogos: Un opéra de philosophies (Éditions du Cerf, 2019). Some of his texts translated into Spanish include "No-filosofía, o la democracia en el pensar" (Ideas y Valores n.° 98-99) and "Principios de no-filosofía" (Materia Oscura, 2020).
