In the last instance, embodiment can be told as being a pace, a pace of enaction, a pace that seemingly exceeds, overrides, overwhelms the very lines of its determinations. A pace that increases in such a way that only breathlessness can define its inmost lived identity…

   This essay has two cores, which reveal to be a sole one. It follows one historical continuity, inextricably scientific and metaphysical, that questions the body (of) experience, as being the lived intersection of meaning and materiality, of syntax and perception, of will and finitude, of glyph and pathos ; and consecutively it investigates François Laruelle's itinerary inside Thought, to explore some genetic steps that have governed the constitution of his non-standard theoretical matrix.

   But these two enquiries collides in one when the observation is made that mysteriously the body suddenly vanishes as a thematic at a certain point of Laruelle’s writings, althought it was a former pivotal axis in the formulation of his thought.

   What is at stake is then to elucidate what is assumed to be a decision, the decision to remove a theoretical lived out of the crucial articulations which construct the non-philosophical apparatus.

   Surely this issue concerns Metaphysics in recent contemporary philosophy, henology and ontology, methodological strictness and structural opportunities of constructivism. But it also involves Physics, Psychiatry, Politics, Linguistics, which are the many domains that Laruelle considers alternatively as having been philosophical attempted authorities over the human mass of the many ones (that) we are, in last analysis.
