Representing Reality: The Critical Realism Project

Sandra Harding

Feminist Economics, 2003, vol. 9, issue 1, 151-159

Abstract: Is there only one basic structure of reality? Can anyone produce culture-free representations of reality? Is the partiality of our representations only a problem or inconvenience rather than also an epistemic resource? Should we think of the goal of sciences as the production of accurate representations of reality or of effective interaction with it? This essay focuses on differences in how Tony Lawson and I would respond to such questions.
