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 --- from list bhaskar-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu ---
