保罗·维利里奥是1970年代以降最富原创力的法国哲学家之一,同时也是著名的城市建筑家、随笔作家。1963年,维利里奥与建筑师克罗德·巴朗(Claude Parent)成立“建筑原则”(Architec-ture Principe)团体,并发行同名刊物,宣扬建筑的“倾斜功能”(水平与直角被彻底弃绝),曾先后完成两栋建筑作品。1973年起执教于巴黎建筑专业学校(ESA),直到1999年退休。维利里奥的哲学著作围绕着一系列以科技、速度、城市、虚拟、事件、意外及失序为核心的概念群,代表作有《领土的不安》、《速度与政治》、《消失的美学》、《战争与电影》、《解放的速度》、《事件的风景》等。2018年9月10日,因心脏病去世,借用他在《消失的美学》一书的扉页引述保罗·德·塔斯(Paul de Tarse)的话所说,“我们所看到的这个世界正在逝去”。
