CR and Ethical Theory

[John Owens]

Hello, can anyone suggest any work specifically devoted to the implications CR has for ethical theory? I am interested in the cross over between facts and values, and in the possibility of grounding ethics in realist ontology.

Thanks!

Try Andrew Collier's book - Being and Worth

Try Kenneth Melchin, 2001, History, Ethics and Emergent Probability, 2nd Ed., The Lonergan Web Site (ISBN: 0-9684922-0-7). This is based upon the Canadian philosopher Bernard Lonergan's critical realist ontology.

Whilst this paper is not explictly one CR, you may find it covers some of the main themes.

Best wishes

Joe

Thanks Joe, I'll take a look!

There's also a good book by Sayer on the Moral Economy of Class which comes from a CR perspective and I've also attached a piece on CR and ethics which was published recently.

The last two chapters of Andrew Sayer's Realism and Social Science are great on this. :)

Yet i am more interested in knowing the organic relation( if that exists) between the two paradigms-the structural liberalism and critical realism.
