__NOTOC__ Quentin Meillassoux (; born 1967) is a French philosopher. He teaches at the Université de Paris 1 Panthéon Sorbonne, and is the son of the anthropologist Claude Meillassoux. Meillassoux is a former student of the philosophers Bernard Bourgeois and Alain Badiou. Badiou, who wrote the foreword for Meillassoux's first book ''Après la finitude'' (2006),〔''Après la finitude. Essai sur la nécessité de la contingence'', Paris, Seuil, coll. L'ordre philosophique, 2006 (foreword by Alain Badiou).〕 describes the work as introducing an entirely new option into modern philosophy, one that differs from Immanuel Kant's three alternatives of criticism, skepticism, and dogmatism.〔''After Finitude'', trans. Ray Brassier, Continuum, 2008, foreword, p. VII〕 The book was translated into English by philosopher Ray Brassier. Meillassoux is associated with the speculative realism movement. In this book, Meillassoux argues that post-Kantian philosophy is dominated by what he calls "correlationism," the often unstated theory that humans cannot exist without the world nor the world without humans.〔''After Finitude'', Chap. 1, p.5〕 In Meillassoux's view, this is a dishonest maneuver that allows philosophy to sidestep the problem of how to describe the world as it really is prior to all human access. He terms this pre-human reality the "ancestral" realm.〔''After Finitude'', Chap. 1, p.10〕 In keeping with the mathematical interests of his mentor Alain Badiou, Meillassoux claims that mathematics is what reaches the primary qualities of things as opposed to their secondary qualities as manifested in perception. Meillassoux tries to show that the agnostic scepticism of those who doubt the reality of cause and effect must be transformed into a radical certainty that there is no such thing as causal necessity at all. This leads Meillassoux to proclaim that it is absolutely necessary that the laws of nature be contingent. The world is a kind of hyper-chaos in which the principle of sufficient reason is abandoned even while the principle of non-contradiction must be retained. For these reasons, Meillassoux rejects Kant's so-called Copernican Revolution in philosophy. Since Kant makes the world dependent on the conditions by which humans observe it, Meillassoux accuses Kant of a "Ptolemaic Counter-Revolution." Several of Meillassoux's articles have appeared in English via the British philosophical journal ''Collapse'',〔(Quentin Meillassoux, Spectral Dilemma )〕 helping to spark interest in his work in the Anglophone world. His unpublished dissertation ''L'inexistence divine'' (1997) is forthcoming in book form.〔''After Finitude'', Bibliography, p.141〕 In September 2011, Meillassoux's book on Stéphane Mallarmé was published in France under the title ''Le nombre et la sirène. Un déchiffrage du Coup de dés de Mallarmé''. In this second book, he offers a detailed reading of Mallarmé's famous poem ''Un Coup de Dés Jamais N’Abolira Le Hasard'' (''A Throw of the Dice Will Never Abolish Chance''), in which he finds a numerical code at work in the text.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Graham Harman (website), Meillassoux on Mallarmé )〕 Meillassoux clarified and revised some of the views exposed in ''After finitude'' during his lectures at the Free University of Berlin in 2012.〔(Iteration, Reiteration, Repetition: A speculative analysis of the meaningless sign ) Freie Universitat Berlin, April 20, 2012〕 ==Bibliography== ;Books *''After Finitude: An Essay On The Necessity Of Contingency'', trans.
