甘丹·梅亚苏（Quentin Meillassoux，1967—），法国人，1988年考入巴黎高等师范学院，是备受瞩目的当代哲学的希望之星。2006年以来，他先后出版了《有限性之后：论偶然性的必然性》、《数字与塞壬》、《形而上学和科学外世界的虚构》、《没有将来的时间》和《迭代、反复、重复：无用的符号的思辨分析》等著述，广受好评，也颇受争议。

Quentin Meillassouxs 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.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.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
