ABSTRACT

If we regard the first stage of critical realism as a critique of dualism, and the second stage as to deepen critical realism with dialectical resources like the notion of absence and intransitive truth, then the third stage we deal with here is known as a “spiritual” transformation from the established critical realism (CR) and dialectical critical realism (DCR). In this step, Bhaskar wants to find and illuminate the realm of non-duality, which is dominated and concealed by dualism and at the same time is the unity upon which dualism is dependent.
