| Abstract [eng] |
In this paper the central aim is to investigate the status of the modality of fictional thought in Quentin Meillassoux‘s and Mark Fisher‘s accounts in a threefold manner: firstly, by reconstructing and analyzing Meillassoux‘s notion of extro-science fiction, as well as delineating its relation with the critique of correlationism and the key premises of Meillassoux‘s speculative realism; secondly, by reconstructing and analyzing Fisher‘s notion of theory-fiction and marking its links with the ontology of pure immanence and pre-individuated processes; and thirdly, via comparative analysis specifying the genetic points of convergence and divergence in regards to the philosophical principles found in Meillassoux‘s and Fisher‘s accounts. It is argued that the reconsideration of the status of fiction enables the study of realist conceptual strategy which in Meillassoux‘s philosophy is carried under the rubric of speculative thought, while in Fisher‘s philosophy the strategy capacitates to construe the relationship between the fictional regime of thought and the cybernetic processes through a realist lens. |
