Summary/Abstract: In this paper, we would like to examine the implications of Quentin Meillassoux’s philosophical project, which posits the radical thesis of speculative ontology as the only possible approach to thinking about the absolute, which is devoid of the contingency of our relationship with the world. His project can be summarized in three theses: (1) speculation (access to the absolute) is possible only as non-metaphysical, (2) the condition of speculativeness is irreligiosity, and (3) access to immortality and the divine, as possible conditions of immanence, arises only from irreligiosity. This project should show that the “realization of universal justice” and the resolution of the “spectral dilemma” (as the tension between the religious and atheistic understanding of the existence of God and His responsibility for evil) would be possible through the uncertain, but by the necessity of contingency possible, emergence of a “fourth world” in which a nonexistent God becomes, in which all the injustices of previous worlds are redeemed through the emergence of physical laws that would incorporate the resurrection of the dead, immortality for the living, and radical justice for all – the living and the dead.
