I agree that it would be GREAT if contemporary Buddhists knew their history. To reiterate my point at @Imperfectbuddha, for the non-buddhist analysis, that history only serves to provide evidence for both the general "syntax" of "Buddhism" and the varieties of x.
7/7 I think that Buddhist philosophy along with its ancient and modern dialectical interlocutors is better/richer for these issues than Laruelle, who seems pretentious and obscurantist to me

Sorry dude, but my money is on the fact you have not spent the time adequate to understanding Laruelle's project. Not that I blame you! The points that you are making here are precisely part and parcel of the non theoretical apparatus. But then...something else happens.

My judgement is based on my reading so far, and my work in philosophy over decades, including a lot of French philosophy.
