Fathoming the depths of reality

Credited as the originator of the increasingly influential, international and multidisciplinary philosophy of critical realism, Roy Bhaskar’s philosophy is presented here in perhaps the clearest format yet. In a series of dialogues with Savita Singh, the specific biographical origins, trajectory and context of the development of Critical Realism is developed and a concise statement of his system of dialectical critical realism is specially featured. This revealing book incorporates sustained dialogues on :

* the relationship between critical realism and marxism * issues of modernity and modernization * problems of everyday life including questions of our successes and failures, objectives and dreams, anxieties and frustraions.

Finally the book articulates Roy Bhaskar’s latest ideas on the ‘spiritual turn’, through the philosophy of Meta-reality to the theory of co-presence, transcendental subjectivity and subject-subject relationality.
