Laruelle and Art is a highly original, engaging, and accessible introduction to one of France's most important contemporary thinkers. It is also far more than an introduction and develops its own 'non-aesthetic' perspectives on both art and philosophy which develop non-philosophical thought in a distinctive and innovative manner.

With rare elegance and accessible language Fardy conveys the fundamental tenets of non-philosophy (or of non-standard philosophy). Non-philosophy and its treatment of the practice of art is presented in lucid, revealing and coherent manner which makes this book not only an original study in non-esthetics but also a perfect introduction in non-standard philosophy and the oeuvre of François Laruelle.

New readers of François Laruelle's non-philosophy are often surprised to find themselves confronted by a way of thinking that aims to be a practice. Fardy's new book deftly demonstrates how such a project helps us see how thinking through aesthetic practice and objects is an aesthetic practice in itself.

Anthony Paul Smith, Associate Professor, La Salle University, USA

Laruelle and Art is a very important work that brings Laruelle's challenging ideas back to earth. Yet Fardy never dumbs down non-philosophy: with brilliant examples drawn from practices in photography, visual installation, sculpture, and theatre, he thinks alongside Laruelle while performing a non-standard thought all his own. A major achievement.
