This article analyzes Quentin Meillassoux’s concept of cessation. First, the
article argues that this concept plays a decisive role in Meillassouxian philosophy.
Second, by taking into consideration medieval and early modern debates on annihilation, it critically examines the conclusions elaborated in After Finitude. After that, it
conceptualizes the relation between absolute time and absolute contingency, keeping
in mind the critical reception of Meillassoux’s philosophy. Finally, the article turns to
his insights into death and resurrection, and it confronts them with phenomenological theories of mortality. The conclusion is that Meillassoux faces several essential
difficulties with regard to the concept of cessation that seem to be unsalvageable.
