In the first of the influential conferences on "Speculative realism" held in 2007, Ray Brassier stated the following problem: "If the structure of reality produces the structure of thinking, then the challenge is to avoid both transcendentalism and a kind of pragmatism which would say that evolutionary history [...] guarantees the congruence between representation and reality as a function of adaptational necessity, so that only creatures that have a cognitive apparatus that is appropriate to their kind of biophysical environment will be able to survive. And this is a claim that fuels much of naturalised epistemology, but one that I think is metaphysically problematic, because there is no reason to suppose that evolutionary adaptation would favour exhaustively accurate beliefs about the world". However, I have not found, beyond this remark, any research about the relationship between speculative realism and this evolutionary reliabilism, which is surprising given that, due to its opposition to any kind of "correlationism" such as transcendental philosophy, speculative realism seems committed to some kind of natural account of the role of human knowing capacities. Does anybody know further research in this direction?
