'This major and important study offers a genuinely contemporary ontology that does not shy away from thinking a contingent God beyond the confines of possible-God theologies. Inspired by Schelling, the author shows which speculative theology remains possible today after ontotheology. A crucial and much needed contribution to a fundamental debate.' Gert-Jan van der Heiden, Radboud University Looks at how necessity and contingency impact on a range of philosophical fields All necessity is based on the utter contingency of being, the fact that there is something rather than nothing. Tyler Tritten examines the ramifications of this truth arguing that even God, while necessary according to essence, is utterly contingent with respect to existence. Focusing on this 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.
