Multiple meanings
A fundamental thing, at the most reduced level and which resists further reduction or explanation. A bare fact.
Facticity plays a key part in Quentin Meillassoux's philosophical project to challenge the thought-world relationship of correlationism. Meillassoux defines it as “the absence of reason for any reality; in other words, the impossibility of providing an ultimate ground for the existence of any being.”[3]
