François Laruelle (1937-2024) taught for many years at the Université de Paris X: Nanterre as well as the Collège International de Philosophie. His innovative theoretical approach, first called non-philosophy and later non-standard philosophy, is one of the most important movements in French thought in the past fifty years.
