Dictionary of Critical Realism fulfils a vital gap in the
literature, Critical Realism is often criticised for being too
opaque and deploying too much jargon, thereby making the concepts
inaccessible for a wider audience. However, as Hartwig puts it
'Just as the tools of the various skilled trades need to be
precision-engineered for specific, interrelated functions, so
meta-theory requires concepts honed for specific interrelated
tasks: it is impossible to think creatively at that level without
them.'
This Dictionary seeks to redress this problem; to throw open the
important contribution of Critical Realism to a wider audience for
the first time, by thoroughly explaining all the key concepts and
key developments. It includes 500 entries on these themes, and has
contributions from major players in field. However this text does
not stop there, it goes further than simply elucidating the
concepts and includes a number of essays which use the notions in
important areas, thereby demonstrating the appropriate use of the
concepts in action to encourage their wider use.
This book will become a requisite reference tool for Critical
Realist scholars and Philosophers and Social scientists alike will
enjoy this vital introduction and explanatory text of the
indispensable ideas contained within the dynamic and vibrant school
of Critical Realism.
