From Science to Emancipation: Alienation and the Actuality of Enlightenment
From Science to Alienation and the Actuality of Enlightenment is the second of three books elaborating Roy Bhaskar s new philosophy of metaReality, which appeared in rapid succession in 2002.With a new introduction from Mervyn Hartwig, this book contains some of the original transcripts and the questions and answers they provoked, from a variety of lecture and workshop tours Roy Bhaskar presented for Indian audiences before this book was first published. Because of the spontaneous and informal nature of these talks and discussions, this book continues to provide the most immediate and accessible introduction to Roy Bhaskar's philosophy as it charts his intellectual journey.The talks recorded here have retained an immediate local but also deeply universal interest. From Science to Emancipation provides an indispensible resource for all students of philosophy and the human sciences.
