Abstract:

Starting from an overview of the main concepts of critical realism, the paper places the philosophy of Roy Bhaskar into the context of contemporary ontology and theory of layered reality. Its developments in the field of economics, especially by Tony Lawson, are related to the methods proposed by critical realism for social sciences. Both the merits and the actual limits of these approaches are marked.
