What's Critical About Critical Realism?: Essays in Reconstructive
Social Theory draws together 4 major articles that are situated at
the intersection of philosophy and sociology. Preceded by a general
presentation of Bhaskar's work, critical realism is used to
reconstruct the generative structuralism of Pierre Bourdieu, warn
about the dangers of biocapitalism, theorize about social movements
and explore the hermeneutics of internal conversations. Together,
the essays form a logical sequence that starts with a search for a
solid conception of social structure through a realist critique of
Bourdieu's rationalist epistemology, proceeds to an ideology
critique of posthumanism through an investigation of Actor-Network
Theory, extends critical realism to social movements through an
investigation of the constitution of collective subjectivities and
engages in a sustained dialogue with Margaret Archer through an
attempt to reconnect hermeneutics and pragmatism to critical
realism. The result is an ongoing dialogue between British critical
realism, French historical epistemology, German critical theory and
American pragmatism.As suits a collection of essays in social
theory, this book will address a broad audience of sociologists,
philosophers, social psychologists and anthropologists who are
interested in contemporary social theory at the cutting edge.
Academics and advanced students who relate to critical realism and
critical theory, epistemology and philosophy of the social
sciences, hermeneutics and pragmatism, or anyone else who follows
the work of Roy Bhaskar, Pierre Bourdieu, Bruno Latour or Margaret
Archer will find a keen interest in some of the theoretical
questions the book raises.
