An act of radical refusal, a process of undoing one by one the ties that attach humans to the world, for Grelet this departure was also inseparable from an ongoing campaign of anti-philosophy. Like François Laruelle's \"ordinary man\" or Rousseau's \"solitary walker,\" Grelet's solitary sailor is a radical theoretical figure, herald angel of an existential rebellion against the world and against philosophy's world-thought, point zero of an anti-philosophy as rigorous gnosis, and apprentice in the \u003ci\u003eherethics\u003c\/i\u003e of navigation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMore than a set of scattered reflections, less than a system of thought, \u003ci\u003eTheory of the Solitary Sailor\u003c\/i\u003e is a gnostic device. It answers the supposed necessity of realizing the world-thought that is philosophy (or whatever takes its place) with a steadfast and melancholeric refusal. As indifferently serene and implacably violent as the ocean itself, devastating for the sufficiency of the world and the reign of semblance, this is a lived anti-philosophy, a perpetual assault waged from the waters off the coast of Brittany, amid sea and wind.","brand":"Urbanomic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42969645940991,"sku":"9781913029968","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9781913029968_s600x595.jpg?v=1775592393","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9781913029968","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
