In this work, Laruelle utilises his non-philosophical theory to develop unified theoretical analyses into philosophy's relationship with the humanities, politics and psychoanalysis. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCentred on the figure of the Stranger, he argues for a democratic reformation of thought governed by human multitudes. The new field of thought is opened by this Universal Humanity, identified with three different pathways: a science of people and non-humanism, democracy and non-politics, and non-psychoanalysis as the development of a Universal Unconscious.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eLaruelle, François:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - François Laruelle (1937-2024) was Emeritus Professor of philosophy at University of Paris X: Nanterre and instigator of the movement known as \"non-philosophy\" or \"non-standard philosophy.\" Laruelle was the director of L'Organisation Non-Philosophique Internationale.
