François Laruelle

François Laruelle was a French philosopher, of the Collège international de philosophie and the University of Paris X: Nanterre. He began publishing in the early 1970s and had around twenty book-length titles to his name. An alumnus of the École normale supérieure, Laruelle was notable for developing a science of philosophy that he calls non-philosophy. Until his death, he directed an international organisation dedicated to furthering the cause of non-philosophy, the Organisation Non-Philosophique Internationale.
