9. Patomäki, 'After Critical Realism?', p. 62. Although I sense the importance of his critique, I do not think that he is going far enough from the 'Bhaskarian' spirit or path since he seeks to re-place all Bhaskarian adoptions of 'science' with more contemporary ones. I think that this is overdue but yet still doesn't go far enough to raise the questions that I pose in this article, questions that, for example, some physicists are raised nowadays (see, for example, Bernard d'Espagnat, On Physics and Philosophy (Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, 2006).
