A Critical and Realist Approach to Ecological Economics

Description	Ecological economics is based on preanalytic assumptions informing scientific practices, guiding the theoretical construction of objects of knowledge, as well as instructing the process of researching particular phenomena or events. Assumptions about reality, knowledge and knowledge production have major impacts on the perspectives of a discipline, how it perceives its subject matter and how it examines phenomena. Realism of a critical type is viable alternative to naïve objectivism and strong constructivism. The very starting point of ecological economics was a break with mainstream economics, because of the latter's failure to relate to the complexity of reality, in particular biophysical reality. This core claim expresses a belief in a reality independent of our perception or knowledge of it. Critical realism's depth-ontology understands the real as not only embracing exercised and actualised powers of objects, but also unactualised and even unexercised potentials. Methodology covers reflections on research strategies, methods and research designs including their specific combination of theories, models and empirical investigation.
