Exploring the relationship between structure and agency, Margaret Archer's work introduces a morphogenetic approach that emphasizes the distinct emergent properties of both elements within social reality. By rejecting common conflation methods, Archer highlights the importance of linking rather than merging these concepts. This framework challenges traditional debates in social theory, advocating for a realist ontology that supports non-conflationary theorizing, ultimately serving as a practical tool for social analysts.
