New
Realism
New Realism is Dr. Charles current obsession. It was
a movement that was very prominent in American
psychology and philosophy from about 1910-1928, with
some rumbles before and since. At this point, the New
Realism has drifted in obscurity. This is unfortunate,
because in addition to the philosophical
sophistication of this system, it had a lot to offer
as a formula for empirical research.
There is a living legacy, however in American
psychology, in Australian philosophy, and several
other unexpected niches. Dr. Charles has published a
handful of articles on the subject and editing a book
that released in the Fall of 2010. More information
will be available soon, but for now, here are a list
of publications.
The issues discussed in these works are also
recurring themes on my blog: Fixing
