Example text
On the contrary, Deleuze's anti-rationalism arrives to establish that the princi pIes of rationality are just the temporary resul ts of a real irrational becoming. Thus if we want to justify why science is able to nlathematically represent the inorganic as sub- 50 Time Withollt Becoming ject independent we find a good answer in Meillassoux, but if we want to understand why thought is able to reinvent its rules and to create new logics and systems we find a better answer in Deleuze. We still miss a philosophical system capable to explain, at the same time, why scientific knowledge is possible and why thought is able to re-create its own rules under the stimulation of the real.
Thus, for Meillassoux, these two realisms can be considered two forrns of subjectalism: both consist in the absolutization of a special feature of the correlation and they make the limits of knowledge into a positive aspect of the· in it-self. In is this way the subjective property that is hypostatized - like thought, life, sensibility, creativity, will, etc. - actually determines the knowledge the in it-self as that which renders the correlation necessary. We find this kind of reasoning in Hegel, for example, where thought knows objects as exteriorizations of itself and so it discovers to be the determinant of its own knowledge: there is nothing beyond the correlation between thought and the real since thought is the real.
Therefore, ancestrality is not only a reality preceding the event of intelligent life, but it is also a reality that cannot be conceived as the condition of the emergence of subjectivity. If that was the case, we would find the unexpressed potentiality of the organic, and thus of the correlation itself, in the inorganic, so there that there would be no reciprocal independence between dead matter and subjective life. Meillassoux thus dismisses the hypothesis that the potentiality for the emergence of intelligent life was already contained in the inorganic, and for similar reasons he equally refuses the idea that intelligent life is an unpredictable product of chance.
