“…However, Copson (2018) appears to confuse harmonisation with what Archer (1995) calls 'elisionism'. Whereas harmonisation involves a process of collating parallel narratives, elisionism is characterised by the conflation of two elements in an attempt to create 'one new thing', and in doing so negates any kind of dialectic between the two (Porpora 2007).…”

In this chapter the author argues that an antidote to the partial paralysis pervading the study of harm might be found in developing a more integrated approach between criminology and zemiology. Towards this end, the chapter outlines the emergent paradigm of ultra-realism and introduces it as a mediating third. In doing so, a number of salient obstacles that have hitherto served to problematize research on harm are discussed. With a view towards the potential implications for a less harmful society, the chapter considers the politics of harm and argues for the abandonment of reformist critique in favour of a return to depth critique. Finally, the chapter concludes on the potential of researching harm from an ultra-realist perspective.

In this wide-ranging interview Alan Norrie discusses how he became involved with Critical Realism, his work on Dialectical Critical Realism, and responses to it amongst the Critical Realist community. He also discusses the role of law in society, law's relation to philosophy, and his various related research interests over the years. This extends to his most recent work on moral psychology and the underappreciated connection between metaphysical and meta-psychological categories such as love in Critical Realism, and its importance in ethical and legal contexts.
