This realm contains the seeds of a radically different natural and social order, of balanced development and a state of affairs in which the free development and flourishing of each unique human being is the condition, as it also the consequence, of the free development and flourishing of all.  In developing this vision, the philosophy of Meta-Reality confirms many aspects of the great philosophical traditions of the past, while correcting the one-sidedness and transcending their dualisms and dichotomies, representing what is valid in them in a radically new way, apt for our contemporary times of global crisis.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAmong the topics discussed are critical realism and the nature of being, modernism and post-modernism, the nature of the self, the relationship between social science and self-realization, the ubiquity of transcendental phenomena in everyday life and the orientation of enlightenment towards collective human emancipation and universal self-realization.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER ONE\u003cbr\u003eCritical Realism: Beyond Modernism and Post-modernism\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER TWO\u003cbr\u003eWho Am I?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER THREE\u003cbr\u003eSocial Science and Self-realization: Non-duality and Co-presence\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER FOUR\u003cbr\u003eMeta-Reality: In and Beyond Critical Realism\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The India Club","offers":[{"title":"Roy Bhaskar \/ Sage Publications \/ Paperback","offer_id":68153645302128,"sku":"9447","price":26.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/5203\/9792\/files\/9447.jpg?v=1793911968","url":"https:\/\/marketcalvexa.shop\/products\/reflections-on-meta-reality-a-philosophy-for-the-present","provider":"Alderstone House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
