Review
"Bhaskar has provided what is, arguably, the most comprehensive, the most rigorous and the best available account of the sciences, both natural and social." –Gerry Webster (Biology Forum 1989)
"Breathtaking in the scope and power of its immanent critique of contemporary philosophy." –Andrew Sayer (International Journal of Urban and Regional Research 1990)
"Bhaskar has fashioned a wholly new context for argumentation about social ontology . . . His work merits enormous critical attention in all the human sciences." –John Shotter (History of the Human Sciences 1991)
"Contains perhaps the finest brief historical and methodological assessment in English of the major issues in Marx’s philosophy." –Michael Sprinker (New Left Review 1992)
