This series of interviews, conducted in the form of exchanges
between Roy Bhaskar and Mervyn Hartwig, tells a riveting story of
the formation and development of critical realism. Three
intersecting and interweaving narratives unfold in the course of
this unfinished story: the personal narrative of Roy Bhaskar, born
of an Indian father and English mother, a child of post-war Britain
and Indian partition and independence; the intellectual narrative
of the emergence and growth of critical realism; and a
world-historical story, itself theorized by critical realism in its
discussion of the development of modernity. This book gives an
invaluable account of the development of critical realism, and its
consolidation as a leading philosophy of our times. It takes us
through the major moments of its formation, the principal
objections to and controversies within critical realism, the
establishment of its institutions, and considers its limits and
future development. Special features of the book include discussion
of the genesis of critical realism, and the origins and nature of
the so-called dialectical and spiritual turns. The informal
dialogical style of The Formation of Critical Realism makes it
compelling reading and an invaluable source for students of
critical realism as well as all those interested in the
intellectual story of our times.
