Meillassoux and Dialetheism Part II: Contradiction and Realism →. Meillassoux and Dialetheism Part I: On Some Projected Demonstrations. In my previous post. I mentioned that the dialetheism proffered by Graham Priest should be of concern to the Meillassouxian position. I want to continue exploring this angle in a few posts, bear in mind that while I will attempt to draw some radical conclusions, they should be considered as transcissions rather than as finished products.). After taking into account parac...

Contingency and the Limits of Science. Inner Sense part I: On Asking Better Questions. I’ve spent years, and written close to hundred pages.

This has always struck me as perhaps the least interesting part of the book, and certainly the most misleading, insofar as it tends to draw the focus away from the more principled overcoming of correlationism (by pitching it against what Meillassoux now calls “subjectalism”) in chapter 2.

The prospect that mathematical science might someday utilize inconsistent mathematics leads to the question of dialetheist realism. For if one is a realist concerning the entities of science, one might then also have to be a realist concerning contradictory entities. And as I claimed in my last post. The Law of Non-Contradiction.
