I've written a piece on #ConjuncturalAnalysis, which has been published in the open access journal Coils of the Serpent. Drawing upon #Marxism and #CriticalRealism, I argue that the conjuncture is an ontological layer. 1/3

I was taken aback to discover that the sociologist Margaret Archer - whose theory underpinned my PhD - has written a chapter responding to my work in her final and posthumously published book.

I'll be speaking at the book launch: markcarrigan.net/2024/03/08/%...

It is knotty. But once you see the threads, they're hard to unsee.

Here's a lovely resource to untangle it:

This article argues that #CriticalRealism (CR) should develop its own theory of #AcademicWriting because of CR’s explicit commitment to #HumanEmancipation and #StratifiedOntology [1/n]

I like the concept of ‘absence’. ‘Being is but a ripple on the surface of the ocean of non-being’, wrote Roy Bhaskar. The present might have been, and might yet be, very different. #CriticalRealism

In this article, I clarify misunderstandings of #CriticalRealism and defend its relevance to psychology’s #ReplicationCrisis. By challenging methodologism and proposing exploratory stratified contextualism, I offer a more ontologically grounded approach to #psychology. doi.org/10.1177/0959...
Critical realism, psychology, and the crisis of replication: A reply to Haig; Derksen & Morawski; and Trafimow - Robert Archer, 2024
The commentaries provided by Haig; Derksen and Morawski; and Trafimow vary considerably in how they address critical realism and its implications for replicatio...

Tired of your old research paradigm?

Then try the all-new “Pragmatist-Critical Realism”. It’s #criticalrealism . . . but with added #pragmatism for extra flavour

New open-access paper, “Pragmatist-Critical Realism as a Development Studies Research Paradigm”: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
Pragmatist-critical realism as a development studies research paradigm
Pragmatism and critical realism have been proposed as research philosophies that can be used by development studies researchers as alternatives to the dominant but criticized positivism and constru...

"A rational case for a critical realist theory of academic writing" has today been accepted for publication in the Journal of #CriticalRealism

Basically, #AcademicWriting must be emancipatory, educative, committed to truth.

Hoaxes, #IELTS, #GAI don't meet the criteria.

Can anyone point me towards reviews, studies, critiques, etc. on #CriticalRealism & its relevance to the #Philosophy & realism of Thomas Nagel (cf. View from nowhere; what it's like to be a bat, etc.)

Have found some articles in Journal of @crnetwork.bsky.social & @philosophynow.bsky.social

Thanx🙏🏼
