| Summary: | Although little known today, Raymond Ruyer was a post-WWII French philosopher whose works and ideas were significant influences on major thinkers, including Deleuze, Guattari, and Simondon. With the publication of this translation of 'Neofinalism, ' considered by many to be Ruyer's magnum opus, English-language readers can see at last how this seminal mind allied philosophy with science.
