From the preface by Alain Badiou:
"It is no exaggeration to say that Quentin Meillassoux has
opened up a new path in the history of philosophy, understood here
as the history of what it is to know ... This remarkable "critique
of critique" is introduced here without embellishment, cutting
straight to the heart of the matter in a particularly clear and
logical manner. It allows the destiny of thought to be the absolute
once more."
" ""This work is one of the most important to appear in
continental philosophy in recent years and deserves a wide
readership at the earliest possible date ... "Apres ""la finitude
"is an important book of philosophy by an authnted emerging voices
in continental thought. Quentin Meillassoux deserves our close
attention in the years to come and his book deserves rapid
translation and widespread discussion in the English-speaking
world. There is nothing like it."
"--"Graham Harman in "Philosophy Today"
Quentin Meillassoux's remarkable debut makes a strikingly original
contribution to contemporary French philosophy and is set to have a
significant impact on the future of continental philosophy. Written
in a style that marries great clarity of expression with
argumentative rigour, "After Finitude "provides bold readings of
the history of philosophy and sets out a devastating critique of
the unavowed fideism at the heart of post-Kantian philosophy.
The exceptional lucidity and the centrality of argument in
Meillassoux's writing should appeal to analytic as well as
continental philosophers, while his critique of fideism will be of
interest to anyone preoccupied by the relation between philosophy,
theology and religion.
Meillassoux introduces a startlingly novel philosophical
alternative to the forced choice between dogmatism and critique.
"After Finitude "proposes a new alliance between philosophy and
science and calls for an unequivocal halt to the creeping return of
religiosity in contemporary philosophical discourse.
