anthonythorpe.bsky.social @anthonythorpe.bsky.social · 05/03/2025Interesting contribution to the debate about what might be basic tenets of critical realism through the idea of threshold concepts. There's subtlety in their argument that these concepts help those new to CR to understand what's going on, rather than ones that all critical realists hold. 011
