Abstract

In my paper (Mingers, Real-izing information systems: critical realism as an under pinning philosophy for information systems. Information and Organization , 2004; 14(2), doi:10.1016/j.infoandorg.2003.06.001), I put forward the case that the philosophical position known as critical realism could potentially provide a sound underpinning for information systems. This issue of Information and Organization contains two papers written in response to mine (Klein, Seeking the new and the critical in critical realism: Deja vu? Information and Organization , 2004; 14(2), doi:10.1016/j.infoandorg.2004.02.002; Monod, Einstein, Heisenberg, Kant: methodological distinctions and conditions of possibility, Information and Organization , 2004; 14(2), doi:10.1016/j.infoandorg.2003.12.001) and the editors have allowed me to make a very brief reply.
