Acknowledgements (Wilson’s)

I am very grateful to Alan Norrie for instigating and coordinating this symposium, my reviewers Dave Elder-Vass, Tobin Nellhaus, Alan Norrie, Andrew Sayer, and Ian Verstegen, and the Journal of Critical Realism for hosting this issue. I am also extremely grateful to Jessica Atkinson for her very helpful and insightful feedback on a draft.

Notes

1 References to Peirce [(1931–58) 1994] follow the standard convention of volume number and paragraph number.

2 For Bhaskarian dialectics, see above all Alan Norrie (2010).

3 Here I recommend the somewhat overlooked book Rescuing Dewey: Essays in Pragmatic Naturalism by Peter Manicas (2008).

4 See Gary Hatfield’s (2012) essay ‘Philosophy of Perception and the Phenomenology of Visual Space’ in which he also considers Mandelbaum.

5 About Critical Realism: https://centreforcriticalrealism.com/about-critical-realism/.

6 See Bunting (2020), Dowling (2021), The Care Collective (2020).

7 See Bhaskar (2016, 115) on ‘ontological monovalence’.

8 This epistemological betweenness is the subject of the book I’m working on now. It is contained within critical realism’s opening premise – that the world exists independently of our knowledge of it.

9 I am careful here not to imply intention on the part of those doing the making – see Wimsatt and Beardsley (1946) on ‘the intentional fallacy’.
