Marxism and Critical Realism
نویسنده
چکیده
Bhaskar defines the philosopher differently: the philosopher observes the scientist, and sees that the scientist is able to expand knowledge about the world using the methods he is using. The philosopher concludes from this: obviously, the world is such that the methods applied by the scientists allow them to gain knowledge about it. This tells us something very important about the world. The philosopher starts with the success of modern scientific practice and explores what it tells us about the world.
