Quentin Meillassoux's books explore contingency, finitude, time, necessity, science, fiction, and the possibility of thinking a world independently of human access to it. After Finitude examines the limits placed on claims about reality and develops contingency as a central philosophical problem. Time Without Becoming asks how time can be conceived when change is not treated as following a necessary order.
Science Fiction and Extro-Science Fiction distinguishes imagined scientific worlds from worlds in which stable scientific regularity itself is uncertain. The Number and the Siren turns toward number, form, and interpretation in a literary problem. Across these works, Meillassoux tests what reason can claim when neither necessity nor human perspective is allowed to settle the question in advance.
