The book explores the concept of causality through a critical examination of key philosophical figures like Kant and Putnam. It advocates for a nuanced version of critical realism while challenging Roy Bhaskar's theory of truth. The author aims to refine the application of realism about causality in the social sciences, addressing previous shortcomings in the field. Through these discussions, the work contributes to a deeper understanding of the interplay between causality and realism in philosophical discourse.
