Bhaskar's Transcendental Realism

Bhaskar's Transcendental Realism is a philosophical approach that asserts an independent reality exists beyond our perceptions and scientific theories. It suggests that while our knowledge is fallible and situated within human consciousness, underlying structures and mechanisms in the world cause observable phenomena. This perspective emphasizes that science aims to uncover these real, deep causes, not just describe appearances, and that understanding these mechanisms requires acknowledging the reality of things even if we cannot directly observe them. In essence, it bridges the gap between what we perceive and an external reality that exists independently of our minds.
