/lit/ - Literature

>I see non-philosophers in several different ways. I see them, inevitably, as subjects of the university, as is required by worldly life, but above all as related to three fundamental human types. They are related to the analyst and the political militant, obviously, since non-philosophy is close to psychoanalysis and Marxism — it transforms the subject by transforming instances of philosophy. But they are also related to what I would call the ‘spiritual type — which it is imperative not to confuse with ‘spiritualist. The spiritual are not spiritualists. They are the great destroyers of the forces of philosophy and the state, which band together in the name of order and conformity. The spiritual haunt the margins of philosophy, Gnosticism, mysticism, and even of institutional religion and politics. The spiritual are not just abstract, quietist mystics; they are for the world. This is why a quiet discipline is not sufficient, because man is implicated in the world as the presupposed that determines it. Thus, non-philosophy is also related to Gnosticism and science-fiction; it answers their fundamental question — which is not at all philosophy's primary concern — ‘Should humanity be saved? And how?’ And it is also close to spiritual revolutionaries such as Müntzer and certain mystics who skirted heresy. When all is said and done, is non-philosophy anything other than the chance for an effective utopia

Why do you fags never talk about non-philosopy? Why has no-one appropriated Laruelle's philosophy in service of the gay one-upsmanship across this board?

Then again you never see more than a thread or two on speculative realism every six months here so I guess we will be stuck reading the same shitty Nick Land threads for the foreseeable future.

This is just negative philosophy, using philosophy for non-philosophical questions.

Whatever let's just make this the thread about people you expected /lit/ pseuds to plagiarize.

>Willis Domingo
A strong contender for being the Scaruffi of /lit/. Sort of a mathematics metaphysics guy who does both sides of the philosophy divide. Accessible writing but snobbish at the same time, covers lots of ground. Posts a lot of porn. Very difficult not to like this fellow even if he's an American.
