Gilles Grelet

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gilles Grelet (French: [gʁəlɛ]) is a French theorist and former student of the French philosopher François Laruelle. He is the author of books and pamphlets which develop the main tenets of Laruellean non-philosophy. Following years of teaching, he lives as a sailor.

Thought[]

Grelet's theory of rebellion draws most conspicuously on the work of Guy Lardreau and Christian Jambet, whose 1976 jointly authored book L'Ange[1] marries Lacanian psychoanalysis and Maoism.

Aside from his published writings, Grelet has collaborated with French underground filmmakers Dojo Cinéma.[2]

He co-founded with François Laruelle and Ray Brassier a book collection, Nous, les sans philosophie,[3] published by L'Harmattan, comprising key works by exponents of Laruelle's non-standard matrix of theory (Jacques Fradin, , , ...).

Laruellean scholar Ekin Erkan details the Marxist/political praxis of an amalgam of François Laruelle's students, noting that "[i]t is mirthless to seek a revolutionary ethos in Laruelle – his critique solely provides us with the appropriate tools and [ . . . ] the ethics with which to problematize philosophy. Laruelle’s contemporaries, such as his anarcho-Maoist student, Gilles Grelet, have weaponized Laruelle to radicalize non-philosophy and pose an antiphenomenological practice."[4]
