According to Meillassoux most modern and contemporary philosophers are correlationists.It kind of makes sense for Kantians of all kinds, Phenomenologists especially since they're pretty focused on subjectivity. That wikipedia definition is too technical though, it doesn't clarify necessarily. The concept amounts basically to saying that you cannot formulate judgments on anything without thinking about it therefore making it subjective, you cannot get at an outside. Meillassoux quotes some contemporary phenomenologists who says that it works like a transparent cage, you always see and feel an outside, but can never escape your condition.

With Nietzsche and Deleuze it's a bit more difficult, but the speculative realists for the most part accuse them of projecting subjective experiences (memory, habit, drive etc.) onto Being as such so maybe they're correlationists as well in some sense. I don't remember if Meillassoux criticizes them explicitly under this term, but he certainly is against their approach and Brassier says something similar.

Why do women rub their little clits while reading romance novels yet men aren't interested at all in that genre...

Is it cultural conditioning and the patriarchy creating this gender difference or is it something biological?

Who is the best ethnically Jewish thinker? Atheists and secular Jews allowed.

>any one who denies the existence of selfless altruism

Have you never really impulsively helped another? Never helped a stranger instinctively without the thought of "what's in it for me?" crossing your mind? Have you never aided a fallen bird?

If your answer is "no", you're a psychopath and get the fuck off our planet.

Spinoza made sense, a great man of ethics, while Hegel actively tried to obfuscate.

Sympathy, decency and basic human emotion stops us from doing those things. Also, no one is truly a nihilist.
