This special issue of Labyrith is the first part of a diptych dedicated to the eminent French philosopher Francois Laruelle in honor of his 80th Anniversary. It aims to unveil the attracting force of Laruelle’s non-philosophy for artists and scholars from different disciplines. The essays demonstrates in an emblematic way how a new democratic order of thinking permits non-philosophy to enclose domains that have long been considered as opposites - philosophy, science, religion and the arts - and to superpose these variables in a process of creative invention. The issue includes an original dialogue between Francois Laruelle and Anne Francoise Schmid, an inteview with Laruelle’s translator into English Anthony Paul Smith conducted by Mark W. Westmoreland, and articles by Yvanka B. Raynova, Constance L. Mui, Julien S. Murphy, Katerina Kolozova, Adam Louis Klein, Nicholas Eppert, Laura Cull O Maoilearca, Gilbert Kieffer, Benoit Maire, and Anne-Francoise Schmid.
