The book explores the intersection of reconstructive biographical research and critical realism, asserting that causal explanations can complement biographical methods. It highlights the value of biographical research in uncovering the reasons behind social and personal phenomena, demonstrating how individual narratives can illuminate broader causal structures. This approach enriches our understanding of the complexities in personal and social lives.

Bringing reconstructive biographical research into dialogue with critical realism, this book argues that causal explanations are not at odds with biographical research and that biographical research is in fact a valuable tool for explaining how and why things in social and personal lives are one way and not another.
