Laruelle’s mistake is to treat philosophy as a substance and to try to isolate its universal structure. Badiou tells us that philosophy is an act, and not a substance: “If philosophy is an act, there is no last philosophy” (Theory of Evil, Theory of Love, 49).

A principle of operationality is still structuralist, as it itself is not operational but structural. Laruelle's indebtedness to his elders goes far beyond the Simondon connection.

I never said his indebtedness was purely Simondonian, but your conflation of structure and operation is mistaken. I am merely focusing on your singular attachment to these terms of “structure” and “substance”, which radically retranslate non-phi into manipulable concretizations.
