A new era for the Journal of Critical Realism
Roundtable
The article is a lightly edited transcript of a digital roundtable discussion. The participants were invited based on their prior work on critical realism and epistemology. The roundtable discussion includes introductory statements on judgemental rationality by Jamie Morgan, Ruth Groff, Dorothea Schoppek, Leigh Price, and Frédéric Vandenberghe, followed by a discussion between the participants on a variety of topics related to judgemental rationa…
Bhaskar’s philosophy as third generation systems theory, with implications for ethics and earth system stability
Bhaskar’s philosophy supports society via a process of homeostasis to resist socioecological system disintegration by developing its values and ethics in response to endogenous and exogenous change. To the contrary, positivist (first generation) and hermeneuticist (second generation) approaches to systems theory have distorted humanity’s mechanism of homeostasis because, amongst other things, they disallow the use of facts to guide values/actions…
Interdisciplinarity, health and well-being
Andrew Collier, Marxism and emancipation
The possibility of deep naturalism
This article presents a philosophy of science for ecology – deep naturalism – based on Roy Bhaskar’s transcendental realism. It includes a model of the emergence of ecosystems, analogous to the Transformational Model of Social Activity, that I call the Emergence Model of Ecosystem Resilience. It also proposes the following definition of ecosystem resilience: the process by which the internal complexity of an ecosystem and its coherence as a whole…
A return to common-sense
Empirical realist ecologists, such as C. S. Holling, face significant methodological contradictions; for instance, they must cope with the problem that ecological models and theories of climate change, resilience and succession cannot make predictions in open systems. Generally, they respond to this problem by supplementing their empirical realism with transcendental idealism: they therefore say that their models are simply metaphorical or heuris…
Introduction to the special issue
In this special issue of Journal of Critical Realism (JCR), I am delighted to present a wide-ranging collection of papers by imminent critical realists on the subject of normativity. Also included
A peaceful revenge
This is an account of the emancipatory struggle that faces agents who seek to change the oppressive social structures associated with neo-liberalism. We begin by ‘digging amongst the bones’ of the calls for resistance that have been declared dead or assimilated/co-opted by neoliberal theorists. This leads us to unearth, then utilize, Paulo Freire’s Pedagogy of the Oppressed, Steve Biko’s Black Consciousness and Shiv Visvanathan's ideas; which are…
Introduction to the special issue
The aim of our initial call for papers was to encourage the submission of exemplars of applied work, reflections on the use of critical realism, and metatheoretical developments. We were not disapp
Wellbeing research and policy in the U.K
There are grave issues with how the U.K. government approaches the issue of wellbeing. Specifically, policy interventions that might improve the material conditions of citizens are being down-played, and at times out-rightly dismissed. Instead, an individualist, instrumental message is being promoted, namely, that the best way to improve wellbeing is by improving individual happiness and mental health. I argue that this instrumental message – whi…
Integrating Knowledge through Interdisciplinary Research
In this book, Dominic Holland provides a welcome and valuable assessment of the muddled status of contemporary interdisciplinarity. As a political economist he is well-positioned to make this asses
Critical Realism, Environmental Learning and Social-Ecological Change
Hume’s Two Causalities and Social Policy
Hume maintained that, philosophically speaking, there is no difference between exiting a room out of the first-floor window and using the door. Nevertheless, Hume's reason and common sense prevailed over his scepticism and he advocated that we should always use the door. However, we are currently living in a world that is more seriously committed to the Humean philosophy of empiricism than he was himself and thus the potential to act inappropriat…
Critical Realist versus Mainstream Interdisciplinarity
In this paper I argue for the superiority of a critical realist understanding of interdisciplinarity over a mainstream understanding of it. I begin by exploring the reasons for the failure of mainstream researchers to achieve interdisciplinarity. My main argument is that mainstream interdisciplinary researchers tend to hypostatize facts, fetishize constant conjunctions of events and apply to open systems an epistemology designed for closed system…

Participatory curriculum development
My experience of teaching the Rhodes University/Speciss College Environmental Education Course in Zimbabwe alerted me to a tension between the industry course participants who largely (although not entirely) wanted a skills/vocational training orientation and the course curriculum developers, who wanted a critical/theoretical/praxis-based orientation to the course. This paper is an attempt to offer some resolution of the dilemma this provided the…
