François Laruelle

François Laruelle is a French philosopher known for developing "non-philosophy," a radical approach that challenges traditional philosophical systems. Instead of seeking ultimate truths or interpretations, Laruelle emphasizes understanding philosophy from within, treating it as a structure that reflects its own limits. He aims to break down the distinction between philosophy and non-philosophy, advocating for a perspective that allows philosophy to critique itself without relying on external assumptions. His work encourages us to see philosophy not as a quest for absolute knowledge but as a tool for self-awareness and questioning its own foundations.
