In the first section, critical realism is introduced. Differences from other philosophies of sciences (espicially positivism and falsificationism) are discussed. In the second section, critical realism is criticised: first for failing as a normative philosophy of science, second for relying upon an impoverished notion of knowledge-acquistion, and finally for its unsuitablity as a contribution to social theory. © 1996 Academic Press Limited Articles nationallicence Cambridge Journal of Economics Oxford University Press 20/5(1996-09), 513-522 0309-166X 20:5<513 1996 20 cameco https://doi.org/10.1093/oxfordjournals.cje.a013631 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI 1 research-article jats NATIONALLICENCE 856 40 https://doi.org/10.1093/oxfordjournals.cje.a013631 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI NATIONALLICENCE 100 1- Baert Patrick NATIONALLICENCE 773 0- Cambridge Journal of Economics Oxford University Press 20/5(1996-09), 513-522 0309-166X 20:5<513 1996 20 cameco Metadata rights reserved CC BY-NC-4.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 nationallicence BK010053 XK010053 XK010000 NATIONALLICENCE NATIONALLICENCE NL-oxford
