This book offers a critical realist intervention into the field of
Marxist Sociology of Education. Critical realism, as developed by
British philosopher Roy Bhaskar, is known for its capacity to serve
as a conceptual underlabourer to applied fields like education.
Indeed, its success in clarifying and resolving thorny issues of
educational theory and practice is now well established. Given
critical realism's sympathetic Marxist origins, its productive and
critical engagement with Marxism has an even longer history. To
date there has been little sustained attention given to the
application of critical realism to Marxist educational praxis. The
book addresses this gap in existing scholarship. Its conceptual
ground clearing of the field of Marxist Sociology of Education
centres on two problematics well-known in the social sciences:
naturalism and the structure-agency relation. Marxist theory from
the days of Marx to the present is shown to also be haunted by
these problematics. This has resulted in considerable tension
around the meaning and nature of, for example, reform, revolution,
class determinism and class struggle. With its emergence in the
1970s as a child of Western Marxism, the field continues to be an
expression of these tensions that seriously limit its
transformative potential. Addressing these issues and offering
conceptual clarification in the interests of revolutionary
educational practice, Critical Realism for Marxist Sociology of
Education provides a new perspective on education which will be of
interest to students, scholars and practitioners alike.
