This is an excellent discussion of several very complicated topics. I especially appreciate your discussion on the philosophical and not-philosophical acts. I would be curious what Laruelle would say in response to the pragmatists' theory of decision making. On Baudrillard, I don't see him as centered on capitalism as your article seems to imply. For a Critique of the Political Economy of the Sign was an early work (1972), and my reading of Baudrillard is that he gradually moved away from the capitalist-centered critique of his mentor Henri Lefebvre to a view that codes and the simulacra and the real are properly seen in the social use of signs throughout everyday life. I'm curious your thoughts on that.
