Meillassoux’s God

Meillassoux’s concept of "God" challenges traditional religious notions by proposing a being rooted in absolute contingency—meaning God's existence is not necessary but possible. Unlike classical theology that defines God as the necessary, unchanging ground of reality, Meillassoux’s God embodies radical openness and unpredictability, reflecting the universe's fundamental unpredictability. This "God" isn't an all-powerful ruler but an abstract, unconditional possibility, highlighting the contingency of existence itself and urging a philosophical openness to the unpredictable nature of reality beyond deterministic or necessary frameworks.
