Comment on Another reaction to my AH Paper on Meillassoux by Peter Gratton

Thanks James. It’s not strange: he publishes a small book and thus how much could he cover? His task there is to treat his pivot point as accepting his opponents’ arguments and seeing where he can use them to overturn themselves. But that leaves him in a number of traps, one of which you are great at pointing out. Peter

Thanks for your response. It seems strange to me that Meillassoux focuses on correlationism so much, since even if you accept that the correlationist needs to accept factiality in order to properly differentiate her view from that of the subjectalist (and I tend to let this pass as the problems here seem secondary to those elsewhere), this only yields an argument for speculative materialism if it is already agreed that subjectalism is false – and Meillassoux does not have much to say about what might ground the latter agreement in any of his published work. This strikes me as strange because it treats subjectalism as if it were dead, when surely this is, at the least, not obvious.

Regards,

James

I have just heard the sad news. I met Hugh two or three times in Australia, and he examined my doctoral thesis a couple of years ago. A generous man.

This is a moving memorial for Hugh J. Silverman. Thanks for your memories, Peter. I do hope to meet again once at a Conference and – in remembering – to say: “Oh, Hugh” or “Oh, that was Hugh.”
