Long abstract	“To reconcile thought and absolute” - this is the enjoinder with which Meillassoux closes After Finitude.2 The Hegelian tenor of this statement is impossible to miss, as is Meillassoux’s reference to the most famous speculative philosopher of the absolute in his own use of these terms. Is Meillassoux being ironic? Is Hegel not the ‘correlationist’ philosopher pur sang?
