Focusing on the concept of causality, the author engages with the works of notable philosophers like Kant and Putnam to advocate for a nuanced form of critical realism. She challenges Roy Bhaskar's theory of truth, offering essential qualifications to the critical realist framework. Additionally, the book aims to refine previous applications of causality in the social sciences, providing clarity and corrections to enhance the understanding of realism in this context.
