Post-Continental Philosophy An Outline

Post Continental Philosophy examines the shift in Continental thought over the last ten years through the work of four central figures: Gilles Deleuze, Alain Badiou, Michel Henry, and Francois Laruelle. Though they follow seemingly different methodologies and agendas, each insist upon the need for a return to the category of immanence if Philosophy is to have any future at all. Rejecting both the German phenomenological tradition of transcendence (of the Ego, Being, Consciousness, Alterity, or Flesh), as well as the French post-structuralist valorization of Language, they instead take the immanent categories of biology (Deleuze), mathematics (Badiou), affectivity (Henry), and axiomatic science (Laruelle) as focal points for a renewal of philosophy. John Mullarkey provides a metaphilosophical analysis of these new philosophies of immanence, teasing out their internal differences, as well as their shared potential for radicalizing the practice of philosophy in Europe.
