Bhaskar's Dialectical Criticism

Bhaskar's Dialectical Criticism refers to a philosophical approach developed by Roy Bhaskar that explores the interplay between structures, agency, and real-world change. It emphasizes understanding reality as dynamic and complex, influenced by social, economic, and historical factors. Bhaskar asserts that to critique society effectively, one must consider underlying structures and the contradictions within them. This approach navigates beyond surface appearances to uncover deeper truths, encouraging a transformative understanding of social conditions and promoting awareness of how change can be achieved through critical engagement with the world.
