From: "Phil Walden" <phil-AT-pwalden.fsnet.co.uk> Subject: BHA: nature of the split in Critical Realism Date: Thu, 21 Nov 2002 02:03:58 -0000 Hi Mervyn and listers, First of all, Mervyn, let me say that I am shocked by the shabby treatment you have received, despite the fact that as elected editor of JCR you were doing a grand job, and unpaid too. I have just read the statement by the IACR Council with astonishment as it is obviously a complete gloss and entirely fails to shed light on the causes of the split that has occurred. Can I ask you, Mervyn, for some further clarification. It has been my perception, based on my experience of the Critical Realist fraternity over the last several years, that the main split within Critical Realism is between those who see Critical Realism merely as a tool for their social scientific research, on the one hand, and those who are interested in DCR, TDCR, or in some way in the philosophical potential of Critical Realism on the other. Would I be right in thinking that the treatment you have received is a coup perpetrated by the former against the latter?
