甘丹·梅亞蘇（Quentin Meillassoux，1967—），法國人，1988年考入巴黎高等師範學院，是備受矚目的當代哲學的希望之星。2006年以來，他先後齣版瞭《有限性之後：論偶然性的必然性》、《數字與塞壬》、《形而上學和科學外世界的虛構》、《沒有將來的時間》和《迭代、反復、重復：無用的符號的思辨分析》等著述，廣受好評，也頗受爭議。

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
