Abstract
By examining the conceptual status of marxist theorising, the author challenges the attempt by Bhaskar to make critical realism a philosophy for the left. This article argues that internal linkages between practice, theory and metatheory, evident in Marx's writings, provide a richer understanding of society than do the structured, causal relationships offered by philosophy.Keywords
