Reality and Self-Realization: Bhaskars Metaphilosophical Journey toward Non-dual Emancipation: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Reality and Self-Realization: Bhaskars Metaphilosophical Journey toward Non-dual Emancipation" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Since the publication of Roy Bhaskars A Realist Theory of Science in 1975, critical realism has been evolved as one of the new developments in the areas of philosophy of natural and social science which offers an alternatively fresh view to the existing theories including positivism and post-modernism. Bhaskars intellectual movement, which is now fully international and multi-disciplinary, and continues to influence the philosophies of natural and social science, has transformed into Dialectical Critical Realism (hereafter DCR) and the philosophy of meta-Reality.

MinGyu will conclude that his anti-anthropic Non-duality continues through all the steps of Bhaskars thought, maintaining the consistency of his scientific, metaphysical, and spiritual journey. The anti-anthropic motif is fully realized in the philosophy of Non-duality - the constellational identification of dualism, duality and non-duality in his meta-Reality. Defending Bhaskar against Collier, Agar, and Morgan, MinGyu tries to show how its anti-anthropic and non-dualistic foundation is sustained through the whole of Bhaskars journey, involving a transformation of its subject matters from reality, to the dialectic of reality, to the real truth underlying the former stages.

This book provides an indispensible resource for all students of philosophy and the human sciences.

Reality and Self-Realization

Since the publication of Roy Bhaskars A Realist Theory of Science in 1975, critical realism has evolved as one of the new developments in the area of philosophy of natural and social science that offers an alternatively fresh view of the existing theories, including positivism and post-modernism. Bhaskars intellectual movement, which is now fully international and multi-disciplinary, and continues to influence the philosophies of natural and social science, has transformed into dialectical critical realism and the philosophy of meta Reality.

Seo concludes that his anti-anthropic non-duality continues through all the steps of Bhaskars thought, maintaining the consistency of his scientific, metaphysical and spiritual journey. The anti-anthropic motif is fully realized in the philosophy of non-dualitythe constellational identification of dualism, duality and non-duality in his metaReality. Defending Bhaskar against Collier, Agar and Morgan, Seo tries to show how its anti-anthropic and non-dualistic foundation is sustained through the whole of Bhaskars journey, involving a transformation of its subject matters from reality, to the dialectic of reality, to the real truth underlying the former stages.

Reality and Self-Realization: Bhaskars Metaphilosophical Journey toward Non-dual Emancipation provides an indispensable resource for all students of philosophy and the human sciences.

This book originated from my dissertation titled From Critical Realism to Meta-Reality: Roy Bhaskars Philosophical Evolution from West to East, which I submitted in February 2010. I had begun my graduate study with interest in the philosophy of social science, specifically in the critique on the positivistic understanding of social problems. When I met my doctorate supervisor, Dr James M. Lawler, in 2002 at Buffalo, New York, he was eager to read Roy Bhaskars book Dialectic: The Pulse of Freedom, and he suggested that I join him in reading it to develop my ideas on the subject. After this coincidental beginning, we traced Bhaskars works from his philosophy of scientific realism to metaReality that had emerged from him at that time. Thus, the frame of dualism, duality and non-duality that gave shape to this book was totally due to my supervisors suggestion. It was this insight that gave me direction as I wandered through the Bhaskarian forest of realism, dialectic and metaReality.

Another date with destiny in my academic life was when I met Roy Bhaskar himself at the conference of the International Association for Critical Realism that was held at Drexel University in Philadelphia, in 2007. At the conference, I presented my idea on anti-anthropic background in his critical realism, and he encouraged me to engage in the comparative study of East/West philosophical and spiritual traditions. His encouragement remained with me as the guiding principle for my future study on the Eastern and Western traditions of philosophy related to the subject of reality and self-realization.

As well as these two people who influenced my study and life, there are others I must mention here. First of all, I want to give special thanks to Dr Mervyn Hartwig, who gave me many useful comments and suggestions on my writing. I must confess that I could not satisfy his expectations fully in this work. Turning to my home country, I must express appreciation to my undergraduate supervisor, Dr Gi Chul Kwon, who introduced me to the world of dialectic. Dr Jong Kwon Lee, forever my intimate disputant, taught me the importance of philosophical insight and its argumentation. Additionally, I could not have completed this work without the material and spiritual support of my parents, Sang Chul Suh and Im Sun Choi. I dedicate this book to my lovely family: Hyekyung, Subin and Taebum.
