ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses the work of two philosophers, Wilfrid Sellars and Quentin Meillassoux. Sellars' own philosophical project is structurally similar to Meillassoux's in that it can also be understood as an attempt to combine Kantian transcendentalism with a robust scientific realism. It is a well-known fact that there is a more than intimate connection between contemporary continental anti-realism and Kantian transcendentalism. According to Meillassoux, the fundamental insight of Kantian transcendentalism that needs to be preserved from strong correlationism is not the correlation itself but rather the facticity/contingency of the correlation. Meillassoux believes that strong correlationism contains important insights that must be preserved in any sound philosophy that aspires to delineate the structure of the 'in-itself' without relapsing to a pre-Kantian dogmatic metaphysics. Meillassoux's examination of strong correlationism can provide important insights as regards the issue of what, according to Meilllassoux, is right and what is wrong in Kantian transcendentalism.
