Regaining Reality on Different Platforms: Critical Realism

WOS: 000430244600055In discussions over the natural existence of what has been communally described, the issue of how this existence is reached is among the basic problems of social theory. The main objective in the mutual understanding of commonality forms the central argument of social theory, over which there is a pursuit of order. Especially with the emphasis that he has made on different layers of reality - actual, real, and empirical - Bhaskar, who objects to the errors of voluntarism and reification in social theory, suggests a naturalistic model by emphasizing the model of thoughtful action. Bhaskar does not refute realism but plasticizes it with a new theoretic perspective, and he opens the discussion of the limits of the possibilities of naturalism.
