Date: Wed, 30 Oct 1996 01:50:37 -0500 (EST) From: Ruth Groff <rgroff-AT-yorku.ca> Subject: BHA: philsophy and social science Re: Howard's comments abt formal and substantive transcendental argumentation: I admittedly have Aristotle on the brain, as I am counting down to d-day (Friday) when I have to take a qualifying exam in political theory, but it struck me today that I kind of think of Bhaskar's notion of philosophy as asking after a combo of Aristotelian material and formal causes, and of social science as being concerned with efficient cause. This may or may not be helpful to Howard, but is it completely off the wall? Ruth --- from list bhaskar-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu ---
