      6/7 I.e. it belongs to the Buddhist tradition to question what "Buddhism" means (but you already presume to know what it designates, hence your term "x-Buddhism")

      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.

      Laruelle is not doing "philosophy." He is engaged in what he calls a science of philosophy. These are two decisively distinct trajectories. He is hard to read because he wants to avoid precisely The Philosophy. It took me a good five years to be able to work with his ideas.

      Ok. But no sense in quibbling over that point. How I have used him is more to the point, right?

      Yes, but if your project depends on him, and his project is no good, then that's going to be a problem for your project

      It doesn't "depend on him"! If you understand Laruelle, you understand that he provides materials for usage vis a vis local knowledges. So, non-buddhism uses certain ideas from non-philosophy, but in a (necessarily) distinct way from what Laruelle or anyone else might do.

      Hmmm... Laruelle thinks he can say what philosophy as such is (what its general identity is), such that he can call something "non-philosophy," and you do the same for Buddhism.

          If you would like to discuss the merits of Laruelle, I can suggest a couple of excellent interlocutors, including his main English translator. I am only interested in using what I can of his ideas to my own interests and purposes.

          And yes, part of the general non project is discerning the identity of a formation. A working hypothesis is that it's identity is never what the formation says of itself. For instance, x-buddhism presents variously as organon of things as they are, phenomenology, empiricism, (1)
