{"title":"Review of Critical Realism, Feminism and Gender: A Reader","authors":"Glory Rigueros Saavedra, D. Pilgrim","doi":"10.1080/14767430.2021.1993702","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/14767430.2021.1993702","url":null,"abstract":"This is a most welcome handbook arriving at a timely moment for those interested in feminism in relation to sex/gender, progressive politics and sustainability. Critical realism has been an invaluable tool in many fields of enquiry because of the resolution it is capable of bringing to the ongoing conceptual rift between enlightenment and universalist ideas and subsequent developments of postmodernism which rejected scientism and grand theories (Lyotard 1984), in defence of diversity and localism. The discipline of ‘Development Studies’, which has encouraged and benefitted from the tools of deconstruction has, at the same time, encountered problems due to its adoption of full-blown relativism, for example, in its understanding of the Climate Emergency. The realization that we live in a shared material world and do share many universally valid and real experiences has led to necessary reformulations in which a shared planet and shared universal experiences can co-exist with different particular and localized ones. Critical Realism has been an important part of this reformulation through its proposal of analytical depth, interdisciplinarity and dialectical analysis (Bhaskar et al. 2010). Feminism too, as an integral part of Sustainable Development, and as a field of knowledge and political action, has been assailed by similar theoretical criticisms by postmodernism. These challenges to Second Wave feminist formulations have not been invariably creatively transformative. Intense controversies have, at times, bordered on the destructive and the unresolved, whilst often also defeating the aim of the feminist emancipatory project. It is therefore hoped that this volume will provide some clarity on the subject of Feminism in general and, in particular, on the vexed concept of Gender and its relationship to Sex. Broadly the aim of the book is to highlight how the perspectives of critical realism illuminate the relationship between feminist and gender studies with the philosophy of science and by so doing to overcome the perceived antagonism between them. The editors emphasize that this is not to be done by denying evident theoretical differences but by showing how these fields are inevitably intertwined because they operate at different levels of analysis which reflect the reality of a stratified ontology. Their interdependence makes it possible to tease out and examine how different understandings of feminism and gender may be better or worse explanations of our daily lives. Structurally the book is rational and approachable in its layout of three parts. Firstly, a section on Philosophical Preliminaries, secondly a section on Intersectionality and thirdly a section on Methodology. This allows readers to easily seek out the sections most relevant to their own interests. The contributing authors strive to give consideration to ideas from different streams of feminism’s so-called first, second and third waves of analysis, which is useful and refreshing and","PeriodicalId":45557,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Critical Realism","volume":"21 1","pages":"247 - 256"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2021-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46816084","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Perhaps less well understood are occasions when such efforts fail to deliver knowledge sharing arrangements. Here we employ the critical realist concept of emergence to situate the introduction of people management practices in support of knowledge sharing, to examine how such efforts create the emergent properties to either share or not to share knowledge. Then we refine the critical realist concept of communicative reflexivity to explain why employees decide to engage or withdraw from collaborative work. By focusing on reflexivity as not just an ‘internal dialogue’ but also as an ‘external conversation’ we demonstrate why the situated circumstances of work interactions is a significant form of mediation between social contexts and practice in support (or not) of knowledge sharing.","PeriodicalId":45557,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Critical Realism","volume":"21 1","pages":"46 - 64"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2021-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46030264","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In social science, judgemental rationality involves acting upon plausible decisions about competing points of view. However, the tools for doing this are, as yet, under-articulated. This paper addresses this absence by articulating triangulation and depth-reflexivity as two tools for doing judgemental rationality in empirical research. It draws on the experiences of a diverse team working on an international comparative research project on conversion to Islam in prisons. It demonstrates how epistemic and relational gaps between researchers and research subjects can be bridged by mobilising the ‘laminated’ properties and personal attributes of a diverse research team that factors in attributes that are absent as well as those present. The biographical experiences of the team are analyzed in a variety of intersecting dimensions: faith, ethnicity/ethno-culture, gender, class and professionality.","PeriodicalId":45557,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Critical Realism","volume":"21 1","pages":"25 - 45"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2021-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59980201","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using the method of critical analysis of related literature, the paper discovered, among other things, that existing theodicies that are responses to the problem of evil can broadly be categorized into the compatibility thesis and the incompatibility thesis, respectively; and that the relevance of critical realism for the problem of evil lies in preserving a logical gap between the idea of the nature of ‘God as He really is, and how He is conceptualized or described by human theodicies’. The paper argued that whereas the thesis of the non-observability of the nature of God as He really is, independent of human cognition, conforms to critical realism, the non-observability of the omnibus does not. And to accommodate this, the novel concept of critical theism is proposed.","PeriodicalId":45557,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Critical Realism","volume":"21 1","pages":"196 - 210"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2021-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41615346","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The inquiry was experienced as undemocratic by those who had been in the disaster. Many of them felt humiliated, claiming that their opinions were not given due weight. We argue that if the inquiry had been more transparent and inclusive, important information would have been made available that might have prevented subsequent disasters. Such transparency would be supported if disaster commissions used a critical realist version of knowledge acquisition based on a layered ontology and grounded in an epistemology that uses retroduction and judgemental rationality.

In so doing, I offer some provisional insights into the wider notion of wellbeing. All three topics – mental disorder, mental health and wellbeing – imply generative mechanisms of some sort. By considering these mechanisms as ontological entities, we can appraise the relationship between human agency and its biological, social and economic constraints. This provides us with an understanding of bio-psycho-social causal loops, fluxing across time and space, which avoids a reductionist explanation of wellbeing. I also describe how the critical realist concept of four planar social being (our relationship to the natural world, one another, embedding social and economic structures, and our unique biographies) can further assist in the development of a holistic understanding of mental health and mental disorder.","PeriodicalId":45557,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Critical Realism","volume":"20 1","pages":"557 - 573"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2021-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48010805","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
