About An Invitation to a Critical Realist Sociology

This volume offers a series of interviews with well-known figures in critical realism, addressing questions currently being asked in American sociology, including: Why do we need theory?

What contribution does critical realism make to how we do sociology? What is the place of practice in social explanation? Is or should social science be inherently value neutral? And how do such things help us do better social research? How does critical realism influence our methodological practices?
