Hi David, Yes Maxwell is challenging "basic empiricism" but he is not throwing baby out with the bathwater .... his "Aim-Oriented-Empiricism / AO-Rationality" are "extending" basic empiricism adding evolutionary levels of value (which he calls Wisdom, we call Quality, ie aims are about values.)
The Roy Bhaskar stuff looks interesting ... I'll have to digest and come back.
