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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gilles Grelet\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Urbanomic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/20\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Urbanomic \/ Mono\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.80h x 4.40w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781913029968","brand":"Urbanomic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42711247782025,"sku":"9781913029968","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_98fb93fa-1ae5-4ed2-8e3d-c34a413013d4.jpg?v=1719565129","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/theory-of-the-solitary-sailor-9781913029968","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
