Struggle and Utopia at the End Times of Philosophy
Very few thinkers have traveled the heretical path that François Laruelle walks between philosophy and nonphilosophy. For Laruelle, the future of philosophy is problematic, but a mutation of its functions is possible. Up until now, philosophy has merely been a utopia concerned with the past and provided only the services of its conservation. We must introduce a rigorous and nonimaginary practice of a utopia in action, a philo-fiction—a close relative to science fiction.
François Laruelle is professor emeritus at the University of Paris West Nanterre La Défence and the inventor of the science of philosophy, non-philosophy.
Drew S. Burk is a cultural theorist and translator of contemporary French philosophy.
