Reviews
The philosopher of science Roy Bhaskar has been arguing with admirable zeal and rigor for a realist conception of the world and our cognition of it. -- Terry Eagleton
Compelling reading; and as a contribution to the social sciences it deserves to be widely read. * Times Literary Supplement *
Roy Bhaskar is one of the most original and versatile British philosophers of the post-war generation, and one of the very few whose work is likely to have a really lasting and world-wide impact on philosophy and social science. * Times Higher Education Supplement *
