Description

Originally published in 1995, Theory of Strangers represents a pivotal work in Francois Laruelle's development of non-philosophy, establishing a framework for democratic and emancipatory thought. This influential text applies non-philosophical theory to examine philosophy's intersection with the humanities, politics, and psychoanalysis, centring on the figure of the Stranger as a lens for understanding human society. Laruelle argues for a democratic reformation of thought that acknowledges and empowers human multitudes, moving beyond traditional philosophical constraints. The work opens new theoretical pathways by identifying Universal Humanity through distinct analytical approaches, offering readers a comprehensive exploration of how non-philosophy can reshape our understanding of social structures, political thought, and human relationships. Published by Edinburgh University Press, this book provides essential reading for scholars of contemporary philosophy, critical theory, and democratic theory seeking to engage with innovative non-philosophical methodologies.

Key Features

Theory of Strangers applies Laruelle's non-philosophical framework to analyse philosophy's relationship with humanities, politics, and psychoanalysis.

The book centres on the Stranger as a key figure for developing democratic reformation of thought grounded in human multitudes.

Laruelle identifies Universal Humanity through three distinct theoretical pathways, opening new fields of critical analysis and study.

Originally published in 1995 by Edinburgh University Press, this work remains foundational for non-philosophy and democratic theory scholarship.

The text bridges traditional philosophy and contemporary emancipatory thought, addressing social structures and political imagination.
