Indeed, feminist and gender studies discussions are beset with persistent splits and disagreements. This reader suggests that returning to, and placing centre-stage, the role of philosophy, especially critical realist philosophy of science, is invaluable for efforts that seek to overcome or mitigate the uncertainty and acrimony that have resulted from this situation. In particular, it claims that the dialectical logic that runs through critical realist philosophy is ideally suited to advancing feminist and gender studies discussions about \u003ci\u003ebroad ontological and epistemological questions and considerations\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eintersectionality\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003emethodology, methods, and empirical research\u003c\/i\u003e. By bringing together four new and eight existing writings this reader provides both a focal point for renewed discussions about the potential and actual contributions of critical realist philosophy to feminism and gender studies and a timely contribution to these discussions. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michiel Van Ingen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138083704\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138083707\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/26\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 302\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.36lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.75d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2021","brand":"Michiel Van Ingen","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48087701520639,"sku":"9781138083707","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b2c01418-ff24-4034-9832-de697d9473ae.jpg?v=1769100917","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/critical-realism-feminism-and-gender-michiel-van-ingen-9781138083707","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
