Reflections on MetaReality is now widely regarded as a landmark in contem-
porary philosophy. It initiates the philosophy of metaReality, the third main
phase of Roy Bhaskar’s philosophical thoughts, after original or basic critical
realism and dialectical critical realism. Originally published in 2002 and based
on talks given in India, Europe and America, Reflections on MetaReality
presents Roy Bhaskar’s new philosophy of metaReality as a radical extension,
systematic development and proleptic completion of critical realism.
This brilliant series of studies contains seminal and far-reaching discussions
of critical realism and the nature of being; an incisive and limpid account of
modernity, modernism and post-modernism; a sublime discourse on the nature
of the self; and compelling considerations of the relationship between
social science and self-realisation. Together, they demonstrate the ubiquity of
transcendental phenomena in everyday life and the orientation of enlighten-
ment towards collective human emancipation and universal self-realisation.
A new introduction to this edition by Mervyn Hartwig, founding editor of
the Journal of Critical Realism and editor and major author of A Dictionary
of Critical Realism (Routledge, 2007), describes the context, significance and
impact of Reflections on MetaReality and supplies an expert guide to its con-
tent. This book is essential reading for students and practitioners in both
philosophy and the human sciences.
