These are ...

  • Critical Realism, Post-positivism and the Possibility of Knowledge
    Ruth Groff
    Groff defends ’realism about causality’ through close discussions of Kant, Hilary Putnam, Brian Ellis and Charles Taylor, among others. In so doing she affirms critical realism, but with several important qualifications. In particular, she rejects the theory of truth advanced by Roy Bhaskar. She also attempts to both clarify and correct earlier critical realist attempts to appl...
