About this book

Dustin McWherter defends the possibility of critical ontology by pitting Roy Bhaskar's attempt to rehabilitate ontology in the philosophy of science against Kant's attempt to replace traditional ontology with an account of cognitive experience.

Reviews

“It explores in detail the Kantian position to test its capacity to respond to a critical realist variety of critique based on transcendental argument. … The Problem of Critical Ontology is also more broadly a contribution to a wider body of work that is expanding the breadth and depth of argumentation within and about critical realism – which is surely a sign of a thriving discourse.” (Jamie Morgan, Journal of Critical Realism, Vol. 15 (1), February, 2016)
