Publisher Description:
Non-philosophy is not the negation of philosophy. It is the suspension of philosophy's claim to think the real (Principle of Sufficient Philosophy), and it is the invention of new usages of thought and language that disrupt the rational narrative of the real, which is precisely what every philosophy is. Non-philosophy should rather be understood la the "non-Euclidean," namely, as a generalization of the philosophical beyond its traditional limitation by the unitary or "Heraclitean" postulate. From then on, an infinite number of philosophical decisions that are no longer mutually exclusive will correspond with any real phenomenon. Philosophy and Non-Philosophy is widely considered the first fully explicit elaboration of non-philosophy and one of its most important introductory texts. |
