From Science to Emancipation: Alienation and the Actuality of Enlightenment

On three lecture and workshop tours, taking in all the major regions of India, within the last twelve months or so, Roy Bhaskar has presented for Indian audiences, aspects of his own original and continually developing philosophy of critical realism. This book consists of transcripts of some of his talks, together with some of the questions and answers they provoked. Because of the spontaneous and informal nature of these talks and discussions, this book provides probably the most immediately accessible introduction to his thought both for those new to it and those already familiar with it. These talks will have not only an immediate local but also a deeply universal interest. From Science to Emancipation will surely provide, together with its companion volume, Fathoming the Depths or Reality an indispensable resource for all students of philosophy and the human sciences.
