Focusing on the central striking claim that there is something rather than nothing – that all necessity is consequent – Tritten engages with a wide range of ancient as well as contemporary philosophers including Quentin Meillassoux, Richard Kearney, Friedrich Schelling, Émile Boutroux and Markus Gabriel. He examines the ramifications of this truth arguing that even reason and God, while necessary according to essence, are utterly contingent with respect to existence.
Tyler Tritten is Assistant Professor in Philosophy at Gonzaga University. He received his Ph.D. from Katholieke Universiteit Leuven in Belgium in 2012 and later spent two years (2015-2016) as an Alexander von Humboldt Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Department of Philosophy and the Department of Theology at Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg. His publications focus on speculative philosophy in areas of metaphysics, philosophy of religion, non-prescriptive ethics and the history of philosophy. He is the author of Beyond Presence: The Late F. W. J. Schelling’s Criticism of Metaphysics (De Gruyter, 2012) and co-editor of a special issue of the journal Angelaki: Nature, Speculation and the Return to Schelling (Vol. 21.4, 2017).
