ABSTRACT
This chapter is concerned with exemplifying the triangular relationship of critical realism, interdisciplinarity and complex (open-systemic) phenomena such as climate change. Whereas this chapter will consider these relationships in an abstract and general form, Chapter 2 will consider the application of the argument of this chapter to climate change in more specific detail. To some (varying) extent, also the other chapters in this book will exemplify various aspects of the argument developed here. This chapter is necessarily somewhat summary and abstract, but for a fuller development of the general argument, see Part 1 of my forthcoming book with Berth Danermark, Being, Interdisciplinarity and WellBeing.1
