Laruelle then uses this analysis to introduce a new theoretical practice of non-philosophical thought. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRather than presenting a narrative historical overview, Laruelle provides a series of rigorous critiques of the various interpretations of difference in Hegel, Nietzsche and Deleuze, Heidegger and Derrida. From Laruelle's innovative theoretical perspective, the forms of philosophical difference that emerge appear as variations upon a unique, highly abstract structure of philosophical decision, the self-posing and self-legitimating essence of philosophy itself. Reconceived in terms of philosophical decision, the seemingly radical concept of philosophical difference is shown to configure rather the identity of philosophy as such, which thus becomes manifest as a contingent and no longer absolute form of thinking. The way is thereby opened for initiating a new form of thought, anticipated here with the development of a key notion of non-philosophy, the Vision-in-One.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Francois Laruelle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350030295\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350030299\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/27\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 5.00w x 0.80d","brand":"Francois Laruelle","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43925000192255,"sku":"9781350030299","price":30.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_11afa8e7-34aa-4347-8d3b-ef3379a9d5df.jpg?v=1681074731","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/philosophies-of-difference-francois-laruelle-9781350030299","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
