Dear List Members:

I know this is a enormously sweeping and probably immensely naive request, but I would like to receive suggestions from list members for readings (books, articles, portions of books, web articles, text books, etc.) that offer critiques of positivism in the social sciences. I am aware of some of Bhaskar's writings, although sadly, not with as much depth as I would like. (I'm now reading, at the generous suggestion of a list member, the Possibility of Naturalism.  Have also recelty read Benton and Craib's very helpful Philosophy of Social Science: The Philosophical Foundations of Social Thought). Are there other readings that list members have found to be especially powerful, succinct, and/or accessible to the informed, yet undeniably, "lay reader" (non-philosopher)?  Readings that are uniquely Illuminating, instructive?? Suggested readings need not be limited to CR, although readings in CR are especially welcomed.(You can reach me off list at the address below, if you prefer.)

 In advance, many thanks for your recommendations.
