So, as far as I can tell Laruelle is putting non-philosophy as something running alongside of, and outside of, what he thinks philosophy is, and has been, doing. The summery of non-philosophy helps characterize what he sees philosophical thought as; the 'decision' to create dual pairs which engage in dialectics (matter/form, subject/object, etc). To this end his non-philosophy is trying to get at the moment prior to that decision, prior to the dividing of being into two. If I had to guess, his work isn't going to make sense without being contrasted with Derrida's differance. It sorta seems to be exactly a Katian heresy, as 'trying to say what comes before language' or 'experience what comes before experience', I guess.

This review gives a decent picture.

PS: I wouldn't feel bad about not getting this. His writing style makes word salad seem sensical and Derrida a good 'intro to philosophy.' Check out his Principles of Non-Philosophy if you want a larger account in his own words, it ain't too expensive. Maybe with his dictonary as a companion. (This man is insane.)
