ABSTRACT
Quentin Meillassoux’s breakthrough in relaunching philosophical realism through its speculative project against what he dubs correlationist philosophies provides an excellent opportunity to continue philosophy despite the prevailing postmodernist trend to dismiss the realist philosophical topic: the existence of absolute and objective reality. However, Meillassoux’s philosophical edifice is insufficient to carry on the project due to its problematic postulation of the outside realm, or what he calls the Great Outdoor. The author sees that the recent young tendency in philosophy, called accelerationism, is a promising approach to overcome the deadlock found in Meillassoux. Again, this philosophical tendency still does not have adequate ontological thinking but the potentiality it conceives. It is on this occasion that we introduce Antonio Negri’s ontological thinking, or what we call claustrontology, both as a potential solution to Meillassoux’s deadlock and as ontological underpinning for the young accelerationism.
