Struggle and Utopia at the End Times of Philosophy

by François Laruelle

Very few thinkers have travelled the heretical path that François Laruelle walks between philosophy and nonphilosophy. For Laruelle, the future of philosophy is problematic, but a mutation of its functions is possible. Up until now, philosophy has merely been a utopia concerned with the past and provided only the services of its conservation. We must introduce a rigorous and nonimaginary practice of a utopia in action, a philo-fiction - a close relative to science fiction.
