Hi there,

This zine will begin summer 2021.

​It is dedicated to expanding on and thinking through philosopher Quentin Meillassoux's philosophical system. Divinization* is a particular term Meillassoux uses in 'The Divine Inexistence' which I take to be essentially related to the concept of a practice and ethics of absolute contingency. 
The issues are below. As long and as soon as I have stuff to fill them with, they'll keep coming out.

To order, email me at contingentdivinizations@gmail.com: 1) issue(s), 2) address, 3) anything else.
& we'll figure out payment, or you can just have some for free. As a guideline, I'd ask $5 + shipping - but it's up to you.
​​
​Submissions are always open and very happily received!

DIV001 / tbd, summer 2021

Picture
* "The project of rational beings with reason thus consists in enduring together, from generation to generation, by the establishment of a link of fidelity between the living and the dead, in the midst of a world whose knowledge is able to maintain our waiting. It is to endure a totally different historical scale, on a scale of time in which the world assumes a different aspect than the calm indifference of laws. The authentic link of humans with God is thought as a link with the inexistent God of whom humans are the possible ancestor. This link, which makes each of us the possible forerunner of God, I call the divine. The practice of this link in the course of our lives I call the divinization or immortalization of humans; it is the very manner of becoming singular that makes us human. This divinization is not a deification of humans, because it is not a Promethean identification of humans with God. The divine is the affirmation of an uncrossable ontological divide between humans and the omnipotence of the Master, a worthless omnipotence of the revealed God whose happy abandonment inaugurates the philosophical God as justice and as gesture" (Meillassoux, The Divine Inexistence, Philosophy in the Making, p. 232).
