Rezensionen

"Bhaskar goes back to the beginning of the Western philosophical quest and offers a brilliant refashioning of the dialectic. Because his 'dialectical critical realism' is systematic, ontologically sustained and self-consciously ethical and political, he is able to give stunning readings of key chapters in the history of philosophy. This is a unique book full of gems." - Peter Manicas

"In this stunning book, Roy Bhaskar develops his own programme of critical realism into a radically new and original theory of dialectics and a critique of previous theories from the ancient Greeks to twentieth century neo-Marxism. The result is comparable in its scope and ambition to Sartre's critique of dialectical reasoning. It is hard to think of any other contemporary philosopher with the powers to bring this off." - William Outhwaite

"I deeply admire its vast range, rigour and originality . . . a massively important work." -Terry Eagleton
