Fudging Laruelle'S Decision: A Historical Path Towards A Non-Philosophical Body

By abandoning his initial project of providing a body of Desire to Heidegger's Ereignis, Laruelle has buried Flesh as root-experience of immanence, in the name of a transcendental cutting which finally forbade any further inquiries. Yet other thinkers having adopted a non-philosophical stance have endorsed extra-conceptual manifestations as legitimate material, especially from the domain of Psychopathology, like Valdinoci did, it deepens a visceral immersion to renew both linguistics practices and mystical inventions: Deconstruction has taken its place as a nowadays dominant form of culture. Laruelle generalises Deconstruction. By formalising Deconstruction, by giving the formula for its generalisation, Laruelle goes beyond Deconstruction. Laruelle liberates Deconstruction and from Deconstruction: from its tyranny of the Other. The One is the experience that I am of being the Other-than-the-World, that is to say, other-than-philosophy and other-than-hell. This essay has two cores, which reveal to be a sole one. It follows one historical continuity, inextricably scientific and metaphysical, that questions the body (of) experience, as being the lived intersection of meaning and materiality, of syntax and perception, of will and finitude, of glyph and pathos; and consecutively it investigates François Laruelle's itinerary inside Thought, to explore some genetic steps that have governed the constitution of his non-standard theoretical matrix. But these two enquiries collides in one when the observation is made that, mysteriously, the body suddenly vanishes as a thematic at a certain point of Laruelle's writings, althought it was a former pivotal axis in the formulation of his thought. What is at stake is then to elucidate what is assumed to be a decision, the decision to remove, to excise, a theoretical lived out of the crucial articulations which construct the non-philosophical apparatus. Surely this issue concerns Metaphysics in recent contemporary philosophy, henology and ontology, methodological strictness and structural opportunities of constructivism. But it also involves Physics, Psychiatry, Politics, Linguistics, which are the many domains that Laruelle considers alternatively as having been philosophical attempted authorities over the human mass of the many ones (that) we are, in last analysis.
