The spiritual turn in critical realism
Douglas V. Porpora pages -

Abstract

Porpora reflects on the spiritual turn in contemporary critical realism, defining both concepts in relation to one another. He suggests the controversy at the heart of this spiritual turn, particularly in the context of progressive academia and Marxist political thought. He suggests the tensions within the concept of the ‘real’ via a discussion of the spiritual turn and its relationship to ontological versus epistemic conceptions of ‘truth’.
