Non-Philosophy Social Action and Performance

This special issue of Labyrith is the first part of a diptych dedicated to the eminent French philosopher François Laruelle in honor of his 80th Anniversary. It aims to unveil the attracting force of Laruelle's non-philosophy for artists and scholars from different disciplines. The essays demonstrates in an emblematic way how a new democratic order of thinking permits non-philosophy to enclose domains that have long been considered as opposites - philosophy science religion and the arts - and to superpose these variables in a process of creative invention. The issue includes an original dialogue between François Laruelle and Anne Françoise Schmid an inteview with Laruelle's translator into English Anthony Paul Smith conducted by Mark W. Westmoreland and articles by Yvanka B. Raynova Constance L. Mui Julien S. Murphy Katerina Kolozova Adam Louis Klein Nicholas Eppert Laura Cull Ó Maoilearca Gilbert Kieffer Benoît Maire and Anne-Françoise Schmid.
