From the very beginning of the book, Laruelle stakes a "revolt against philosophers" (1) and, in particular, against philosophy's historical hostage of the "ethical Other" – staking a cause against philosophy's "warp and weft of games of power," which all too often reduce marginalized individuals and collectives to terms of "difference" (32). Laruelle, with great detailed prowess, surveys the excesses shoring the discipline of philosophy. Captivated with "revealing" and "reflection," Laruelle charges philosophy with increasingly moving towards a dominion stilted on dialectics, metaphysics, and Derridian différance at the expense of the Real. Where immanence does transpire in philosophical discourse, it is almost always tied to the Deleuzian plane of multiplicitous immanence. For Laruelle, this is far too weak. With the exception of speculative realism and object-oriented ontology, a quick canvas of contemporary philosophy evinces the terms of Laruelle's polemics: Slavoj Žižek's dialectic approach is indebted to Hegelian synthesis; Catherine Malabou's work on plasticity is contingent on Kantian "correlationism"; Michel Serres and Bernard Stiegler both rely on the aperture of transcendence. Thus, not only is Kant's transcendental deduction looming in Laruelle's foreground but so, too, is Deleuze's ethics (of "becoming-minor"). In A Biography of Ordinary Man, Laruelle tasks "non-ethics" with devolving "individual causality," the sole content of the "Real essence" (225). With one swift move, Laruelle's univocal immanence superimposes the (Kantian) analytic a priori as the Real before moving on to confront the true subject of this book – to poise a more precise and rigid means of working with science within the interior of philosophy. Laruelle proposes a terrain whereby science ceases to be a "techno-political fantasy" and becomes "a real science," whereby "man must be irreducible in his multiplicity if he is no longer to be this anthropological fetish" (2). Consequentially, Laruellean ethics is radically de-anthropocentrized, fundamentally directed towards a universalized, auto-effective set of generic conditions.
