Beschreibung:
Non-philosophy is neither a school nor a method, and it is not simply another way of doing philosophy by other means. Mullarkey and Smith demonstrate this in their selection of essays for this volume; each essay refuses the traditional explanatory or representational functions of philosophy, preferring to see thought as co-extensive with a real in which it is imbricated. A welcome addition to the growing engagement with Laruelle and non-philosophy.
