This session we will resume our studies after our summer break. We’ll review the material we have covered so far in Enlightened Common Sense chapters 1-5, basically the entirety of the first phase of critical realism. Please review chapter 1 of ECS for a general overview of the period and his later thought. There’s also Roy’s overview of this period of thought in the youtube series https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vB_7_h4isuM, and study notes from the previous season https://docs.google.com/document/d/1AqofXCdW8fjtWn-adP2nuC4eWUsP9uhs1vnW7uQbgyw/edit.
