摘要：This essay aims to discuss the epistemological approach of critical realism applied in the course of analysis of making strategy as a social practice. It is discussed that the approach of critical realism provides an epistemological and ontological framewo rk that ca n contribute to the understanding of strategy as practice, to the extent that it focuses on interpretative assumptions of philosophical and sociological basis, giving emphasis on practice, to the process of social constructionism. Critical realism contributes, directly or indirectly, to explain the key points for strategy as social practice, such as that there is an indissoluble bond between society and individuals, between totality and part. Therefore, the aim of the investigation of the social object directs itself to the social relationships instead of the isolated analysis of structures or individuals. Thus, this work contributes to make some progress on the theoretical discussion about critical realism and about strategies as a social practice, portraying the interfaces and theoretical conversations between these both constructs
