“Was not their mistake once more bred of the life of slavery that they had been living?—a life which was always looking upon everything, except mankind, animate and inanimate—‘nature,’ as people used to call it—as one thing, and mankind as another, it was natural to people thinking in this way, that they should try to make ‘nature’ their slave, since they thought ‘nature’ was something outside them” — William Morris

Laruellgorithm
1. All philosophers are hamstrung by decisional procedures. 2. (1) is not a decisional procedure.
Example: 1. Derrida is typically Jewish. 2. “Derrida is typically Jewish” is not a decisional procedure.
Or: 1. I, Laruelle, exempt myself from my critique of everyone else. 2. (1) is not a decisional procedure.
What is up with Laurelle's use of the term "Jewish philosophy". I've read the first couple of chapters and it baffles me how it comes up and what he means by it. Is this some widely adopted distinction he's using that's falsely triggering my anti-semitism radar or am I right to feel a little creeped out by it?
