The authors examine the nature of the relationship between social
science and philosophy and address the sort of work social science
should do, and the role and sorts of claims that an accompanying
philosophy should engage in. In particular, the authors reintroduce
the question of ontology, an area long overlooked by philosophers
of social science, and present a cricital engagement with the work
of Roy Bhaskar. The book argues against the excesses of
philosophising and commits itself to a philosophical approach more
deeply grounded in the social sciences.
Critical and scientific realism have emerged as important perspectives on international relations in recent years. The attraction of these approaches lies in the claim that they can transcend the positivism vs. postpositivism divide. This book demonstrates the vitality of this approach and the difference that "realism" makes.
