About the Book
In The Number and the Siren, Quentin Meillassoux, author of After Finitude, embarks on a meticulous philosophical inquiry into the enigmatic poem Un Coup de Dés by Stéphane Mallarmé. Through this concentrated study, he deciphers the hidden number within the poem, an element that unlocks its complex poetic devices. In doing so, Meillassoux offers profound insights into the nature of contingency, chance, and infinity, while unveiling a deeper meaning behind the symbolic siren that emerges from the poem. This daring new interpretation reshapes how we view both Mallarmé's work and Meillassoux's philosophy of radical contingency, offering fresh perspectives on modernity, poetics, secularism, and religion.
