  1. Approaches to Critical Realism: Bhaskar and Lonergan.Timothy Walker - 2017 - Journal of Critical Realism 16 (2):111-127.
    ABSTRACTThe thought of Bernard Lonergan remains relatively unknown among those in the tradition of critical realism associated with Roy Bhaskar. In this paper, I argue that Lonergan’s approach to philosophical questions is both deeply consonant with the thought of Bhaskar and complementary to it. Following a brief overview of different approaches to critical realism, Lonergan’s epistemology is outlined, and parallels drawn with the thought of Bhaskar. The congruence of Lonergan’s philosophy with modern science and its openness to the transcendent are (...)

  • Why has critical realism not been used more in educational leadership and management research? A critical realist exploration.Anthony Thorpe - 2020 - Journal of Critical Realism 19 (1):29-44.
    ABSTRACTCritical realism is an established post-positivist philosophy applied by researchers in a number of fields and yet it is little used in educational leadership and management research. This article responds to calls from the field for a more critical approach to educational leadership and management research by offering critical realism as a way to address these concerns and it explores why critical realism has not featured more in the field, particularly as it could provide that more critical approach. The use (...)

  • Reclaiming Rational Theory Choice as Central: A Critique of Methodological Applications of Critical Realism.K. Robert Isaksen - 2016 - Journal of Critical Realism 15 (3):245-262.
    My central claim is that texts introducing and explaining critical realism focus on its ontological insights, and even though issues of judgemental rationality and theory choice are central to research these often become peripheral and/or are not stated in the way Bhaskar presented them. This claim is defended by comparing Bhaskar's statements and arguments about theory choice to texts introducing critical realism and its potential research implications. The method of rational theory choice and the key criterion for it are presented: (...)

  • Practical Critical Realism for Liberal Arts in Language Education.Joseph Poulshock - 2011 - Journal of Critical Realism 10 (4):465-484.
    Critical realism is the middle road between the extreme versions of constructivism and objectivism. It is applied here to liberal arts education in general, and specifically to liberal arts education for learners of English. Critical realism can help promote greater coherence in liberal education, and educators can apply critical realism as they develop a unified and purposeful curriculum of liberal arts content for learners of English. Critical realism also influences how teachers perceive the learning environment, and it affects how educators (...)
