Carlos Andrés Segovia
Carlos Andrés Segovia y Corral, 2nd Marquis of Salobreña (born 22 May 1970), is a Spanish nobleman and academic specialising in philosophy and religious studies.Segovia y Corral is an independent philosopher and scholar, formerly associate professor of philosophy and religious studies at Saint Louis University in Madrid, Spain between 2013 and 2024.
He works since 2018 against the backdrop of contemporary philosophical discussions on contingency and thinkability. He views the opposition between Openness and Closure as the core problem of today’s philosophy, in which Closure remains the undesirable object and Openness tends to be conceived in three different ways: as dissolution, randomness, and chiasmus or infinitesimality. Segovia y Corral's work explores this third possibility – which goes back to Heraclitus and Leibniz – after Guattari, Lévi-Strauss, and Heidegger. Besides, and against the anti-correlationist identification of thought with intelligible closure, Segovia is currently developing a philosophy of pre-representational thought’s rhythmic thresholds and configurations partly inspired in Guattari’s heretofore unpublished views on conceptual variance. These two gestures aim at setting the ontological and epistemological basis of a post-nihilist thinking – post-nihilism being his own coined term in his recently co-authored book: ''Dionysus and Apollo after Nihilism: Rethinking the Earth–World Divide''.
In turn, between 2008 and 2018 Segovia y Corral mostly worked on late-antique religion (with special emphasis on the intertwining of group-identity markers, sectarian boundaries, discursive strategies, and more generally the conceptualisation of hybridity and ambiguity in religious origins, as a means to counter present-day religious fundamentalism, ethnocentrism, and xenophobia), Segovia y Corral's current research focuses instead on post-nihilism and meta-conceptuality at the crossroads of ontology, epistemology, modal philosophy, and the philosophy of mythology, with special emphasis on early Greek thought, Plato, Fichte, Nietzsche, the later Heidegger, and French structuralism and its marginalia against the backdrop of contemporary discussions on determinacy, indeterminacy, compossibility, and worlding. He is also series co- editor of Apocalypticism: Cross-disciplinary Explorations at Peter Lang.
Segovia y Corral is the author of numerous scholarly books and articles, including the monographs ''Dionysus and Apollo after Nihilism: Rethinking the Earth–World Divide'' (with Sofya Shaikut), ''Immanence and the Sacred'', ''Guattari beyond Deleuze: Ontology and Modal Philosophy in Guattari's Major Writings'' (forthcoming with Palgrave Macmillan in 2025), ''Guattari and the Ancients: Theatrical Dialogues in Early Philosophy'' (with Gary Genosko, forthcoming with Bloomsbury in 2025), ''The Quranic Noah and the Making of the Islamic Prophet: A Study of Intertextuality and Religious Identity Formation in Late Antiquity'', and ''The Quranic Jesus: A New Interpretation''; the edited journal topical issues ''Conceptual Personae in Ontology'', and ''From Worlds of Possibles to Possible Worlds: On Post-nihilism and Dwelling''; the edited volume ''Remapping Emergent Islam: Texts, Social Settings, and Ideological Trajectories''; and articles such as "Spinoza as Savage Thought," "Post-Heideggerian Drifts: From Object-Oriented-Ontology Worldlessness to Post-Nihilist Worldings," "Earth and World(s): From Heidegger's Fourfold to Contemporary Anthropology," "Rethinking Dionnysus and Apollo: Redrawing Today's Philosophical Board," "Guattari \ Heidegger: On Quaternities, Deterritorialisation and Worlding", "From Worlds of Possibles to Possible Worlds – or, Dionysus and Apollo after Nihilism," "Paul and the Plea for Contingency in Contemporary Philosophy: A Philosophical and Anthropological Critique," "Tupi or Not Tupi – That is the Question: On Semiocannibalism, Its Variants, and their Logics," "Impromptu: The Alien – Heraclitus's Cut," "Fire in Three Images, from Heraclitus to the Anthropocene," "Four Cosmopolitical Ideas for an Unworlded World," "The New Animism: Experimental, Isomeric, Liminal, and Chaosmic," and "Rethinking Death's Sacredness: From Heraclitus's frag.
