The ‘Two Marxisms’ Revisited
The ontological and analytical status of Marxian social theory has been a matter of fierce controversy since Marx’s death, both within and without Marxist circles. A particular source of contention has been over whether Marxism should be construed as an objective science of the capitalist mode of production or as an ethico-philosophical critique of bourgeois society. This is paralleled by the dispute over whether Marxism ought to be considered a …
Against the Spiritual Turn
The argument presented in this book is that the recent ‘spiritual’ trajectory of Roy Bhaskar’s work, upon which he first embarked with the publication of his From East to West, undermines the fundamental achievements of his earlier work. The problem with Bhaskar’s new philosophical system (Transcendental Dialectical Critical Realism or simply Meta-Reality), from the critical-realist Marxist perspective endorsed here, is that it marks both a depar…

On Marxism and Realism
This rejoinder sets out what Creaven's Marxism and Realism is about, and seeks to address the key aspects of Gruffydd Jones’s critique of Creaven's Marxism and Realism
Materialism, realism and dialectics
This chapter demonstrates that how critical realism allied to materialist dialectics is capable of resolving two central weaknesses of western philosophy and social science. It introduces the 'materialist dialectic' of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, analysing its core concepts, and identifying its points of contact with critical realism. An important function of Roy Bhaskar's philosophy is to establish the case for endorsing a 'depth model' of r…

The Pulse of Freedom? Bhaskar's Dialectic and Marxism
Sean Creaven The Pulse of Freedom? Bhaskar's Dialectic and Marxism Introduction Eight years have elapsed since the publication of Roy Bhaskar 's Dialectic . The stated aim of this project was extraordinarily ambitious. This was, basically, threefold. First, the 'dialectical enrichment and deep- ening of critical realism – understood as consisting of transcendental realism as a general theory of science and critical naturalism as a special theory …
Materialism, Agnosticism and God
The longstanding philosophical debate between idealism and materialism has recently entered the ontological terrain of critical realism (CR) and dialectical critical realism (DCR). This has been initiated by Roy Bhaskar’s most recent book, From East to West, which attempts an ambitious synthesis of philosophy, social theory and theology. On the one hand, Bhaskar’s attempt to root his philosophy and social theory in a ‘realist theory of God’ has f…
Marxism and realism
This book rethinks Marx's sociology as a form of realist social theory, extending Roy Bhaskar's philosophical realism into the social sciences. It argues that social systems are best grasped as being shaped in the interface between specific kinds of structural and interactinal mechanisms, namely between the forces and relations of production, base and superstructure, and social labour and class struggle."--Jacket

Emergentist Marxism
In tackling emergentist Marxism in depth, this well-written volume demonstrates that critical realism and materialist dialectics are indispensable to theorizing the functioning of complex social and physical systems. Author Sean Creaven investigates Marx’s dialectics of being and consciousness, forces and relations of production, base and superstructure, class structure and class conflict, and demonstrates how they allow the social analyst to con…
