Realist Philosophy of the social sciences and economics: a critique
批判了批判实在论作为社会科学哲学的贡献，指出其未能成为规范的科学哲学、依赖贫乏的知识获取概念，且不适合作为社会理论的组成部分。
This paper deals with (critical) realism as a contribution to the philosophy of the social sciences. In the first section, critical realism is introduced. Differences from other philosophies of science, especially positivism and falsificationism, are discussed. In the second section, critical realism is criticized: first for failing as a normative philosophy of science, second for relying upon an impoverished notion of knowledge-acquisition, and finally for its unsuitability as a contribution to social theory.
