'A genuinely original argument in the philosophy of science is a rare thing indeed. Bhaskar has produced a new... strong, elaborate and well-integrated, elegant and powerful argument.' - Rom Harre, Mind 1977

'A remarkably interesting and stimulating book in an area of philosophy in which such books have become all too rare.' - S. Korner, Times Literary Supplement 1975
