In this special crossover episode of LEPHT HAND and Acid Horizon,
we explore the radical mysticism of François Laruelle through his
essay Vision-in-One or Unlearned Knowing. Laruelle proposes a
mysticism stripped of transcendence and doctrine—one grounded in
solitude, immanence, and the irreducibility of lived experience.
Our guest, translator Jeremy R. Smith, helps unpack Laruelle’s
challenge to Neoplatonism, dialectics, and the pedagogical
authority of philosophy. Along the way, we consider how this
"unlearned knowing" might offer tools for thinking mysticism on
the left, beyond both theology and theory.
