Summary:
This book provides a critical introduction to Francʹois Laruelle?s writings on photography, with a particular focus on his two most important books on photography: 'The Concept of Non-Photography' and 'Photo-Fiction, a Non-Standard Aesthetics'. By unpacking and contextualising these works, this study provides a useful starting point for students and scholars who want to better understand Laruelle?s larger project, which he calls ?non-philosophy?, or more recently, ?non-standard philosophy?. With clear and concise explanations of the basics of non-philosophy, 'Laruelle and Non-Photography' demonstrates how Laruelle's thought challenges standard, philosophical approaches to photography, and culminates in a novel theory of "non-photography."
