Book Description

0415233259 978-0415233255 August 6, 2000 1
In this radical book, Roy Bhaskar expands his philosophy of critical realism with an audacious re-synthesis of many aspects of Western and Eastern thought. Arguing that the existence of God provides the fundamental structure of the world, he renders plausible ideas of reincarnation, karma and moksha or liberation.
From East to West signifies a major new development in critical realism. It will stimulate debate in ontology, epistemology, ethics, political philosophy and the philosophy of religion.

3.0 out of 5 stars ...a very down market god?, August 1, 2005
By 
Neil Hinrichsen (Knysna South Africa) - See all my reviews
This review is from: From East to West: Odyssey of a Soul (Critical Realism--Interventions Series) (Paperback)
Quote from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, on "Roy Bhaskar":

In 2000, Bhaskar published From East to West: The Odyssey of a Soul, in which, in the words of Gary MacLennan [1]:

He found God. Worst of all it was a very down market god, nothing more than your common or garden New Age variety, the type readily available at any incense saturated shop frequented by a Shirley MacLaine or Nancy Reagan.

The book was greeted with dismay by many Critical Realists.

Inside This Book (learn more)
First Sentence:
The foremost claims of the transcendental realism essayed in A Realist Theory of Science are (1) to have established the irreducibility of ontology or the theory of being to epistemology or the theory of knowledge and a fortiori (and against the epistemic fallacy) that of being to knowledge, of being to our (i.e. human) knowledge of being; and (2) to have demonstrated some propositions in it, that is, to have given the re-vindicated subject of ontology a certain content or shape. Read the first page
