history of critical theory.
Francois Laruelle's non-philosophy is as difficult of access as it
is seductive and alluring. This volume, with its emphasis on
relating non-philosophy to the humanities generally (rather than to
philosophy in particular) offers the reader a number of ways in -
of entries to Laruelle's radical democracy of thought.

Superpositions offers an introductory overview of Laruellian
non-philosophy of exemplary clarity, rigour, and accessibility. At
the same time it demonstrates the force and power of non-philosophy
for thinking and creative innovation within the humanities, social
sciences and beyond. It is a hugely welcome and indispensable
addition to the burgeoning reception of Laruelle’s thought.

Thought, Downing College, Cambridge University*
