Groff defends 'realism about causality' through close discussions
of Kant, Hilary Putnam, Brian Ellis and Charles Taylor, among
others. In so doing she affirms critical realism, but with several
important qualifications. In particular, she rejects the theory of
truth advanced by Roy Bhaskar. She also attempts to both clarify
and correct earlier critical realist attempts to apply realism
about causality to the social sciences.
By connecting issues in metaphysics and philosophy of science to
the problem of relativism, Groff bridges the gap between the
philosophical literature and broader debates surrounding
socio-political theory and poststructuralist thought. This unique
approach will make the book of interest to philosophers and
socio-political theorists alike.
