Luis de Miranda is a philosopher and novelist. His earlier books, written in French, have been translated into English, Chinese, Swedish, among other languages. A PhD from the University of Edinburgh, he previously graduated in philosophy at Pantheon-Sorbonne University and in economics at HEC Paris. Since 2018, Luis de Miranda is a philosophical practitioner and member of the Swedish Society for Philosophical Practice, and an academic researcher in Sweden.

Between 2005-2012 he gathered his literary and philosophical projects under the name of "Crealism". Arsenal du Midi, his virtual writing laboratory from 2004 to 2007, used one of two anagrammatic signatures "Arsenal du Midi" and "Animal du Désir" to explore the triple dimension of creation: natural, egotistic and idealistic. His philosophical essays develop a specific interest for societal issues, historical methods, technological devices, and the cosmological concept of continuous creation via process philosophy (Deleuze, Bergson, Heraclitus, Alfred North Whitehead, Hegel). He has written a cultural and philosophical history of neon signs published by MIT Press ''(Being & Neonness)'', a philosophical history of digital devices and automata ''(L'art d'être libres au temps des automates)'' presented by the French magazine Sciences Humaines as "a new utopia", "both philosophical, literary, artistic and scientific, an analysis of the Lacanian concept of jouissance in its relation with capitalism, and a study on Deleuze which was translated and published by Edinburgh University Press (Deleuze Studies). In all of these he developed his concept of "Creal" or "creative Real". Provided by Wikipedia
