I’ll never forget in my grad school theory class when we were all strugging with Quentin Meillassoux or someone else French and the professor was basically like “this is how my generation felt about Foucault. But you all have an easier time with him because we learned how to teach it”
If there's one revelation I want my students to have when reading the 40-year-old scholarship I assign is that there was a time when certain progressive ideals & terms were new & had to be put in air quotes because of their newness: the work of reshaping culture for the better is long and arduous.

« Après la finitude » de Quentin Meillassoux (2006) utilisé par Étienne Klein en 2009 comme « matériau » pour nourrir ses réponses à une interview dans « La Cause freudienne » en 2008 - Meillassoux jamais cité ici.

Il y a vingt ans, le philosophe faisait paraître « Après la finitude », essai majeur bousculant deux siècles de kantisme, devenu culte dans le monde anglo-saxon. Et depuis ? Plus grand-chose en apparence… Mais, en secret, ce penseur hyperdiscret continue de travailler à découvrir la langue dans laquelle la nature est écrite.

Hello again.
Does anyone out there have a pdf of Harman's "Quentin Meillassoux: Philosophy in the Making" they could send me? The edition doesn't matter, I just need the translated sections of "L'Inexistence Divine".
Please and thanks!!!!

For Žižek, God emerges from the wound of reality itself; for Meillassoux, God remains a possibility born from radical contingency. Neither offers the comfort of a completed divine order. Instead, both imagine a universe whose ultimate meaning is unsettled, where even God may be an event yet to come

(mi interpretación de) la filosofía de Simondon. Con el pretexto de examinar un texto homónimo del autor, se da cuenta del realismo de las relaciones y de la propia idea de una filosofía (de lo) real. Por el camino, se confronta esta con Schelling, Hegel y Meillassoux. 4/5

This is one of Meillassoux most radical anti-metaphysical formulations: reality does not necessarily conceal a deeper explanation.
“There is no longer a mystery, not because there is no longer a problem, but because there is no longer a reason.”
— Quentin Meillassoux

a este respecto, te aconsejo el ensayo de Meillassoux sobre la existencia de Dios (está en la recopilación 'Híper-caos').

There's a lovely paper by Meillassoux called Spectral Dilemma which is more or less that: the world is too bad as is to postulate a benevolent deity, but it's also too bad to be bearable if we dismiss any notion of justice -- instead we should hope that there will be a just deity, eventually.

Eric Wolf (Europa y la gente sin historia) y Claude Meillassoux (Mujeres, graneros y capitales) son marxistas y trabajaron, desde distintos problemas, sobre la subsunción de otras organizaciones productivas en la emergencia y despliegue del capitalismo. Tilly por La desigualdad persistente.

the terrain of epistemic or ethical error. By taking the work of Quentin Meillassoux, Jane Bennett and Karen Barad as exemplary, this article contends that new materialist theories not only fall short of their own materialist pretensions insofar as they do not interrogate the material conditions

as someone more familiar from the Landian/Xenofeminist/Neorat side I was shocked that there seemed little cross-pollination at times between the lesswrong rationalists cum postrationalists and neorationalism in the vein of Negarestani/Brassier/Meillassoux

….of constructive evolution (which ofc requires stratification, refrains, redundancies, etc), than Meillassoux seems to. Construction is the reason “hyper chaos” is only a limit of thought, not a viable ontological principle.
