About this video
Runtime: 24 minsTim Hull discusses the work of Quentin Meillassoux, a prominent French philosopher. Meillassoux defies easy categorization, with his philosophical stance that combines atheism, with a surprising embrace of eschatological and theological themes. He critiques Kantian philosophy for limiting reason to human thought and posits a philosophy that explores the absolute beyond human correlation. Meillassoux argues against correlationism, which he sees as the prevailing framework of modern thought, suggesting it inadvertently supports faith over reason. His work challenges traditional atheistic positions by proposing a form of resurrection and justice through a messianic hope, prompting debate and admiration for his audacity in merging materialist philosophy with theological concepts.
