What They're Saying
Critics Review
‘Covering nearly thirty years of material, and so charting Laruelle’s work through every stage of its turn to Non-Philosophy proper, From Decision to Heresy is a crucial volume for anyone coming to this radically different kind of thought for the first time. A very important collection.’-John O Maoilearca, Kingston University
