Neopragmatism and speculative realism by A. V. Morozov

“…At the same time, the realistic argument based on the «ancestrality problem» (formulated by Meillassoux), which allows us to make judgments about reality as a reality which pre-exists our judgments about it without relying on some form of correlation/representation, is reproduced in a neopragmatist context by Robert Brandom, the follower of Rorty. …”
