What are the ontological assumptions of Margaret Archer's social realism? How is it possible to combine analytical dualism with morphogenetic theory and the reflexivity of internal conversation? Starting with these research questions, the paper intends to explore the thought of one of the most influential contemporary sociologists, highlighting the originality, conceptual power, and semantic prolificacy of her thought. At the same time, specific aporias pointed out by scholars from other currents of thought will be examined.

Abstract
What are the ontological assumptions of Margaret Archer's social realism? How is it possible to combine analytical dualism with morphogenetic theory and the reflexivity of internal conversation? Starting with these research questions, the paper intends to explore the thought of one of the most influential contemporary sociologists, highlighting the originality, conceptual power, and semantic prolificacy of her thought. At the same time, specific aporias pointed out by scholars from other currents of thought will be examined. An attempt will be made to understand how social realism is able to reconcile different paradigms and sources of inspiration.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
