It has become a complex and mature philosophy. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEnlightened Common Sense: The Philosophy of Critical Realism looks back over this development in one concise and accessible volume. The late Roy Bhaskar was critical realism's philosophical originator and chief exponent. He draws on a lifetime's experience to give a definitive, systematic account of this increasingly influential, international and multidisciplinary approach. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCritical realism's key element has always been its vindication and deepening of our understanding of ontology. Arguing that realist ontology is inexorable in knowledge and action, Bhaskar sees this as the key to a new enlightened common sense. From the definition of critical realism and its applicability in the social sciences, to explanation of dialectical critical realism and the philosophy of metaReality, this is the essential introduction for students of critical realism. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Roy Bhaskar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/10\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 226\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415583794\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRoy Bhaskar\u003c\/strong\u003e (1944-2014) was the originator of the philosophy of critical realism and the author of many acclaimed and influential works, including \u003ci\u003eA Realist Theory of Science\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Possibility of Naturalism\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eScientific Realism and Human Emancipation\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eDialectic: The Pulse of Freedom, Plato Etc.\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eReflections on MetaReality\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eFrom Science to Emancipation\u003c\/i\u003e and (with Mervyn Hartwig) \u003ci\u003eThe Formation of Critical Realism\u003c\/i\u003e.
