Notes

1 See Creaven (Citation2000; Citation2001; Citation2002a; Citation2002b; Citation2003; Citation2005; Citation2007; Citation2010; Citation2015). For relevant material see also Bhaskar and Callinicos (Citation2003) and for variation and discussion Morgan (Citation2004; Citation2018) and the interview Norrie and Morgan (Citation2021).

5 See, for example, Alderson (Citation2021); Alderson and Morgan (Citation2023); Alderson, Sutcliffe, and Mendizabal (Citation2020); Danermark and Morgan (Citation2023); New and Morgan (Citation2024); Samsonsen and Heggdalsvik (Citation2024); Scambler (Citation2001; Citation2018; Citation2020a; Citation2020b); Smirthwaite and Swahnberg (Citation2016).

6 Note, I have not addressed some of Creaven’s more speculative comments regarding the possibility and likelihood of future outbreaks and returns to higher death rates. It is also worth noting that of the other books, Modernity and the Pandemic is dedicated to Margaret Archer after her death and its acknowledgements highlight that the book takes critical realism as one of its major influences.
