Alain Badiou, who has written that Meillassoux’s first book Après la finitude (2006) introduces an entirely new option into modern philosophy, different from Kant’s three alternatives of empiricism, scepticism, and dogmatism | correlationism = humans cannot exist without the world nor the world without humans => BUT Meillassoux claims that mathematics is what reaches the primary qualities of things as opposed to their secondary qualities as manifested in perception | there is no such thing as causal necessity at all + it is absolutely necessary that the laws of nature be contingent
