Edited by M. Archer, R. Bhaskar, A. Collier, T. Lawson and A. Norrie, Critical Realism: Essential Readings (1998) is an excellent and comprehensive (if rather weighty!) collection of work covering the main issues covered in this chapter, and more.
A. Collier's Critical Realism (1994a) is the best introduction to this tradition - clear, witty and very accessible. R. Bhaskar's Possibility of Naturalism (1979, 1998) is the classic statement on the application of critical realism to the social sciences, whileW. Outhwaites New Philosophies of Social Science (1987) explores relations between critical realism and other philosophical approaches. A. Sayer's Method in Social Science (1992) is an excellent work on the methodological implications of critical realism, and his more recent Realism in Social Science (2000) is particularly valuable for its sustained encounter with post-modern currents in social science, and for its further development of important ethical issues in critical and emancipatory social science.
