Originally published in 1989, Reclaiming Reality still provides the
most accessible introduction to the increasingly influential
multi-disciplinary and international body of thought, known as
critical realism. It is designed to "underlabour" both for the
sciences, especially the human sciences, and for the projects of
human emancipation which such sciences may come to inform; and
provides an enlightening intervention in current debates about
realism and relativism, positivism and poststucturalism, modernism
and postmodernism, etc. Elaborating his critical realist
perspective on society, nature, science and philosophy itself, Roy
Bhaskar shows how this perspective can be used to undermine
currently fashionable ideologies of the Right, and at the same
time, to clear the ground for a reinvigorated Left. Reclaiming
Reality contains powerful critiques of some of the most important
schools of thought and thinkers of recent years-from Bachelard and
Feyerabend to Rorty and Habermas; and it advances novel and
convincing resolutions of many traditional philosophical problems.
Now with a new introduction from Mervyn Hartwig, this book
continues to provide a straightforward and stimulating introduction
to current debates in philosophy and social theory for the
interested lay reader and student alike. Reclaiming Reality will be
of particular value not only for critical realists but for all
those concerned with the revitalization of the socialist
emancipatory project and the renaissance of the Marxist theoretical
tradition.
