Winner: Cheryl Frank Memorial Prize for innovative writing on
critical realism This new textbook offers a succinct yet broad
introduction to critical realism, an increasingly popular approach
to the philosophy of science that provides a holistic alternative
to both positivism and postmodernism. This text sets out the
central concepts, arguments and understandings in critical realism
and relates them to social scientific practice. In addition to
answering the question 'what is critical realism?', the authors
consider critical realism in light of two crucial themes in
contemporary society - neoliberalism and climate change - which run
as common threads throughout the chapters. While some introductions
to the topic focus exclusively on the work of Roy Bhaskar -
critical realism's best-known proponent - this text covers a much
wider range of thinkers and social researchers, and also features
Key Concept boxes and CR in Action boxes throughout to aid the
reader through this complex yet rewarding subject. This text is the
perfect entry point for all those studying critical realism for the
first time, or for those seeking to re-familiarise themselves with
this approach. Whether you're studying critical realism as part of
a broader course on the philosophy of science or seeking to apply
critical realist methods to a particular research project, this
book is essential reading for the social sciences, humanities and
beyond.
