Gilles Grelet (French:[gʁəlɛ]) is a French theorist and former student of the French philosopher François Laruelle. He is the author of books and pamphlets which develop the main tenets of Laruellean non-philosophy. Following years of teaching, he now lives permanently at sea aboard his boat Théorème.[1]
Laruellean scholar Ekin Erkan details the Marxist/political praxis of an amalgam of François Laruelle's students, noting that "[i]t is mirthless to seek a revolutionary ethos in Laruelle – his critique solely provides us with the appropriate tools and [ . . . ] the ethics with which to problematize philosophy. Laruelle’s contemporaries, such as his anarcho-Maoist student, Gilles Grelet, have weaponized Laruelle to radicalize non-philosophy and pose an antiphenomenological practice."[5]
