What Is To Be Done With Philosophy?François LaruelleIn Tétralogos: un opéra de philosophies (Paris: Cerf, 2018), p.46-54. How does philosophy intend to save itself if it is no longer to conserve itself under the form of traditions that are sometimes denounced as
“What Is To Be Done With Philosophy?” from Tétralogos (2018)
