Dialectic and Difference by Alan Norrie

Dialectic and Difference by Alan Norrie

Dialectic and Difference is the first systematic exploration of Roy Bhaskars dialectical philosophy and its implications for ethics and justice. This text is essential reading for all serious students of social theory, philosophy, and legal theory.

"Matches Bhaskar’s striking originality with a clarity that should make his ideas more widely availableThe reach of comparison with other thinkers, past and present, is truly impressive and very helpful. The emphasis on change, interaction, negativity and totality is particularly relevant for the explosive period our world has just entered." – Bertell Ollman, New York University, USA

"A major contribution to the understanding of a difficult but extremely important philosophical position. The expository and critical discussion is sustained at a very high level." – William Outhwaite, University of Newcastle, UK

"Elegant, thoroughgoing, accessible, genuinely illuminating. It brilliantly elucidates dialectical critical realism’s ethics and how it trumps poststructuralism in particular and irrealism in general." – Mervyn Hartwig, Editor, Journal of Critical Realism
