'''François Laruelle''' (born: 22 August 1937) is a French Non-philosopher, founder of ''Non-philosophy'' (the "Non-" as in "Non-Euclidean Geometry") which is currently better known as "Non-standard Philosophy" (as in "Non-standard Analysis") or Generic Science. Non-standard philosophy, while initially framed as a Science of Philosophy, is better explicated as a unified theory (in the fullest elucidation of ''theoria'' (cf. ''A Biography of Ordinary Man'')) of science and philosophy or, alternatively, the uni[-]fication of science and philosophy under science.

Revision as of 14:58, 19 November 2021

François Laruelle (born: 22 August 1937) is a French (Non-)philosopher, founder of Non-philosophy or First Science which is currently better known as "Non-standard Philosophy" or Generic Science. Non-standard philosophy, while initially framed as a Science of Philosophy, is better now explicated as a unified theory of any regional knowledge whatsoever and philosophy.

Laruelle proposes a classification of his oeuvre into 5 Phases:

  • Philosophy I: Philosophy
  • Philosophy II-IV: Non-Philosophy or First Science
  • Philosophy V: Non-standard Philosophy or Generic Science
