The possibility of naturalism: A philosophical critique of the contemporary human sciences (Harvester philosophy now)

Humanities Press

Since the publication of Roy Bhaskar's A Realist Theory of Science in 1975, critical realism has emerged as one of the most powerful new directions in the philosophy of science and social science, offering a real alternative to both positivism and postmodernism. This reader makes accessible in one volume key readings to stimulate debate about and within critical realism, including: the transcendental realist philosophy of science elaborated in A Realist Theory of Science; Bhaskar's critical naturalist philosophy of social science; the theory of explanatory critique, which is central to critical realism; and the theme of dialectic, which is central to Bhaskar's most recent writings. The volume includes extracts from Bhaskar's most important books, as well as selections from all of the other most important contributors to the critical realist program. It also includes both a general introduction and original introductions to each section.

This is a fresh contribution to what we know about the role of poverty and low income in the health of individuals and households in developing countries.  This book presents the reader with a clear picture of the key aspects of the relationship between poverty, health and health care. It shows how the health status of individuals (especially the poor) in developing countries is particularly important from an economic perspective because of the accentuated impact ill health has on productivity, human capital efficiency and the subsequent levels of well-being in these countries.  In order to present this rounded picture, this study examines the mechanisms through which the poor are made more vulnerable through sickness and subsequently stay in or move into poverty. It then extends this understanding by providing a quantitative approach in establishing how poverty can influence health care demand and health care insurance.  This text will be of great interest to all students and scholars of politics, economics, sociology and development. This book was previously published as a special issue of the Journal of Development Studies.
