another interesting Meillassoux interview moment
December 20, 2010
This one:
RM: I’ve recounted to Florian [Hecker] the story you told me about how, for such a long time, you felt that you were in a ‘stupor’, where you couldn’t understand why everyone seemed to think Hume’s problem had been resolved … So your process of thought was born out of a sort of stubbornness, in remaining amazed and stupefied by the thought that everyone else had dismissed – that there is no reason for laws to remain the same tomorrow as they are today!
QM: Because it’s in the culture. In fact, I am very close to correlationism – because my culture is correlationism.
I’m quoting this not just for the last two sentences, but also because the story in the first paragraph is one I hadn’t heard before.
But it will be tomorrow before I can give this interview a serious read.
