While proofreading my paper
Prison break? In defense of correlationism, I noticed that Meillassoux’s ancestral argument against correlationism as developed in his book
After finitude fails for yet another reason. He takes it that since the correlationist must accept that the transcendental
subject is situated in what this subject refers to as ‘the world’, it follows that the correlationist must also accept that the transcendental
level is instantiated in the world. But this doesn’t follow. The transcendental subject may be part of the world, but the transcendental level as being a
condition for knowledge instead of being an
object of knowledge isn’t.
