Description

The aim of this book is to show how the realist philosophy of science, particularly the ‘transcendental realism’ recently elaborated in the work of Roy Bhaskar, can help our under­ standing of human societies, and thereby help us to free ourselves from those social structures that are constraining and threatening us, particularly capitalism and the nation-state, along with the ideologies secreted by them.
