This was originally published in 1975, and has been acknowledged as a classic in the philosophy of science. Bhaskar (U. of London Institute of Education) has influenced not only what we understand of science but the nature of the world it studies through his philosophy of "critical realism." He describes the links between philosophy and scientific realism including the transcendental analysis of experience and the real basis of causal laws, actualism and the concept of the closure, including the classical paradigm of action, the relationship between autonomy and reduction, and open systems. He explains the logic of scientific discovery, including natural necessity and natural kinds, the SOC production of knowledge by a means of knowledge, objections of the account of natural necessity, and the problem of induction. He concludes with a brief chapter on metaphysics and the philosophy of science. Includes a new introduction by Marvyn Hartwig. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
