Quentin Meillassoux (1967) es un filósofo francés que ha cobrado notoriedad a partir de la publicación de Après la finitude. Essai sur la nécessité de la contingence en 2006. Su obra se inscribe en el Realismo Especulativo, movimiento de reciente expansión en el campo filosófico contemporáneo que promueve una ontología realista. Además de reivindicar una filosofía materialista, Meillassoux defiende la inmanencia ya en su tesis doctoral L’inexistence divine y, especialmente, en el artículo “L’immanence: d’outre-monde” (2009), donde afirma que una verdadera filosofía de la inmanencia no puede fundamentarse en un pensamiento de la finitud sino en una ética de la inmortalidad. Meillassoux opone su perspectiva, aparentemente paradójica, de una inmanencia “de otro mundo” a los pensamientos contemporáneos de la inmanencia, esencialmente al de Deleuze, quien hizo de dicho concepto un blasón de su proyecto filosófico. En este artículo queremos ensayar una confrontación entre la idea de Meillassoux de una creencia en el Mundo de la Justicia y la propuesta deleuziana de una creencia en este mundo con vistas a elucidar convergencias y divergencias relevantes en sus abordajes de la inmanencia y sus concepciones del vínculo entre la filosofía y el ateísmo.
French Philosopher Quentin Meillassoux (1967) has become renowned since the publication of Après la finitude. Essai sur la nécessité de la contingence in 2006. His work is set within Speculative Realism, a vibrant recent movement in the upsurge, which enhances a realistic ontology. Beyond supporting a materialistic philosophy, Meillassoux has embraced immanence from the start of his career; this is clearly depicted in his PhD thesis L’inexistence divine. He especially fostered it further in his article “L’immanence: d’outre-monde” (2009), in which he states that a true philosophy on immanence cannot be based on the thought of finitude, but on the ethics of immortality. Meillassoux contrasts his perspective, apparently paradoxical, of “otherwordly immanence” to contemporary thoughts on immanence, principally Deleuze’s, who made of this concept the scaffolding of his philosophical project. In this article we aim at portraying a confrontation between Meillassoux’s belief in the World of Justice and Deleuze’s proposal of a belief in this world. This shall enable us to shed light on relevant similarities and differences regarding their approaches to immanence and their conception of the bond between philosophy and religion.
