The Institute for Dialectical metaRealism™—a Bahá’í–inspired social–and–economic–development (SED) project—is the think tank on theory, method, and praxis for The MarkFoster.NETwork™. Our focuses are: clinical sociology (public sociologists as public intellectuals), advocacy journalism, history, and religious studies as in: the Baháʾí Faith, Sufism, Pentecostalism, Judaism, and sociology of language and religion. The libertarian Marxist and concrete utopian Dialectical metaRealism™ (DmR™) is a tributary of the current of Bhaskarian critical realism. You may the DmR tendency on our Facebook forum. Questions?

DmR’s critical realist scientific socialism tests hypotheses in a communism without borders: Marxism, Marxism–Leninism, Maoism, Trotskyism, autonomism, and others. This writer’s dialectical unity turn parallels Roy Bhaskar’s (1944–2014) spiritual turn. Ontologically, the Unicentric Paradigm™ or Echoes of Cosmic Unity™—a multi–layered enfoldment of eternal and unknowable unities—exhibits Bhaskar’s nonduality in his philosophy of metaReality. With emancipatory agency, virtues or unities—defined in DmR as the “stuff” of nondual reality—can be acquired. By conscientization in both podcasting and writing, DmR promotes: unity and political nonpartisanship.

Relativist and fallibilist epistemologies become empirical methodologies. One DmR methodology, a new qualitative human science of phenomenological analysis, is Heartfulness Inquiry™ or The Echoing Practice™. It resembles: heuristic, individual lived, integral, mindful, intuitive, integrated, organic, and phenomenological inquiries with autoethnography and participant observation (ethnography) among others. DmR’s sociological framework uses: critical realism (metaphysical grounding, ground of being, or ground state), socialism from below–Third Worldism–Fourth Worldism (heterodox Maoism), intersectional Marxism, kyriarchy, and Antifa (an activist praxis).
