Re: BHA: what's next

Hi everyone,

I just want to briefly say that I think Mervyn makes some very good points about
the choice of direction.  I find the dismissal of any texts beyond the latest by
Bhaskar a very disturbing development.  They have, at times, veered close to
heresy spotting, giving the impression of the list as dedicated to the
theological discussion of the divine scriptures.  Does it matter whether a text
which is of relevance to critical realism references specific books by Bhaskar?
Why should a text be judged worthy of focus here according to its ability to
shed light on Bhaskar's thought?  Am I alone in thinking that this focus on
Bhaskar alone is unnerving?  Is the list about critical realism or about
Bhaskar?

With best wishes,

Karl
