Colin,

I'll have to spend some time pondering the fine points in your
last post, but for now let me register my mild skepticism that
Bhaskar's writings aim at constructing a "science of science."
This sounds a bit too much like high Althusserianism to me--
philosophy as the theory of theoretical practice.  Bhaskar's
notion of philosophy as underlaboring (or, as he sometimes adds,
as partisan--echoing Lenin and later Althusser) on behalf of
science is more in line with what I think he's up to.  But as
I say, I'll have to think this through more carefully.

Regards,

Michael
