Has an empirical critique of the universal ambitions of human thought really been established? As we all know, this is a question raised by Kant.
Ganden Meillassoux pointed out with shocking force in "After Finiteness (On the Necessity of Contingency)" that another interpretation of this criticism will lead to a completely different thought from Kant's. ambition. This interpretation, although more "natural", is somewhat obscure. Indeed, Meillassoux proposed that the only thing that is absolutely necessary is that the laws of nature are accidental. This new correlation between two opposite modalities establishes a completely different relationship between thinking and the world of experience. This relationship not only dissolves the "inevitability" requirement of classical metaphysics, but also dissolves the "critical" distinction between empirical things and transcendent things.
This remarkable "Critique of Critical Philosophy" is presented here without pretense, going straight to the heart of the matter in a uniquely clear and concise argumentation style. It makes the trajectory of thinking fatally lead to the absolute once again, instead of returning to "finiteness". On the one hand, we are satisfied with this "finiteness", and on the other hand, we let the "return of religion" provide us with illusory spiritual nutrients. .
