Description
Critical Realism Basics and Beyond by Hubert Buch-Hansen and Peter Nielsen is an introduction to critical realism, a philosophy of science that offers a holistic alternative to positivism and postmodernism. This text sets out the central concepts and arguments in critical realism and relates them to social scientific practice. The authors consider critical realism in light of two crucial themes in contemporary society - neoliberalism and climate change - which run as common threads throughout the chapters. The book covers a wider range of thinkers and social researchers than some introductions, featuring Key Concept boxes and CR in Action boxes to aid understanding. It is an ideal starting point for those studying critical realism or seeking to re-familiarise themselves with this approach. This text is suitable for students of the philosophy of science, as well as researchers applying critical realist methods to their work.
