Hi, Ian, Yep, I read it a while back. As you probably know, the late Dan Jordan also based much of his Anisa model of education on process thought. Margaret Archer, probably the most well-known critical realist sociologist (who has worked with Bhaskar on several projects), combines Critical Realism with Process thought: http://www.amazon.com/Realist-Social-Theory-Morphogenetic-Approach/dp/0521484421 To me, however, Roy Bhaskar's contribution was to distinguish between the unknowable Real and the knowable Actual. The result of Bhaskar's agnosticism toward the Real (~essences) is a kind of pragmatic fallibilism (a term he adopts). That makes it somewhat difficult to reconcile with Whitehead. --- Regards, Mark A.
