Realism and Sociology makes an original contribution to the debate, charting a middle ground between postmodernism and positivism.Critics often hold that realism tries to assume some definitive account of reality. Against this it is argued throughout the book that realism can combine a strong definition of social reality with an anti-foundational approach to knowledge. The position of realist anti-foundationalism that is argued for is developed and defended Routledge studies in critical realism ;5.SociologyMethodologySociologyPhilosophyRealismOntologySociologyMethodology.SociologyPhilosophy.Realism.Ontology.301/.0171.02bclCruickshank Justin1969-1681106MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910170977503321Realism and sociology4188275UNINA
