Zusatztext I am delighted to see the appearance of this English translation of Principles of Non-Philosophy ! one of Laruelle's major works. The project is formidable: nothing less than "non-philosophy"-as in "non-Euclidean"- which is not the simple lack or absence of philosophy! nor what philosophy has marginalized! nor anti-philosophy! nor meta-philosophy! nor the end or death of philosophy. What's left? A withdrawal or suspension of the authority of philosophy in order to undertake a new practice of philosophy more "rigorous" than philosophy! to think not "about" but "from out of" and "according to" the non-objectifiable experience of what Laruelle calls radical immanence! the One! or the Real. It sounds at times not unlike Heidegger's idea that there is something to be thought in metaphysics to which metaphysics has no access. Our thanks to translators Nicola Rubczak and Anthony Paul Smith for their considerable labor in making the important work of this daring if daunting thinker accessible to Anglophone readers.
