Funding Research in Africa
This article begins with an overview of recent and current trends in scientific output in Africa. The focus is on how global dynamics and foreign funding support are directly affecting structural aspects of scientific research. It examines the fundamental role of foreign programmes and new forms of academic cooperation in African science. This includes a discussion of multilateral or transcontinental agreements and local universities, the role of…

A typology of designs for social research in the built environment
This article presents a typology of designs for social research in the built environment. Currently there is no such typology, while the notion of ‘research design’ is less known in the built environment compared to the social sciences. Twenty-five subtypes are identified and clustered into 10 prototypical designs, namely: (1) surveys, (2) experiments, (3) modelling, simulation, mapping and visualisation, (4) textual and narrative studies, (5) fi…
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, the Body and the Self
In a study directed towards the development of a greater understanding of the subjective illness experience of those who suffer from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), we identified the sufferer's relationship with the body as one of the dimensions of the self most affected by CFS. We found that the profound changes instigated by CFS transform the relationship between the self and the body into a frontline where conflict prevails and inner dissensio…
South African Science in Transition
Our main argument in this paper is that South African science is currently experiencing the third major transitional period in its long and interesting history. With the advent of a free and democratic South Africa in 1994, a new era dawned for science as well. We argue, in the main body of the paper, that it is appropriate to refer to this as the third transitional phase in the history of South African science. Two parallel challenges face the n…
Causality and determinism in the social sciences
This article presents a critique of currently dominant views on causality and determinism in the social sciences. It is shown how the empiricist conception of causality — according to which causality is interpreted as the regular connection of events — underlies the causal modelling paradigm. Some criticisms of this approach are discussed in the first part of the article. In the second part, an alternative conception of causality, based upon a re…
Contemporary philosophies of science and the qualitative paradigm in the social sciences
The aim of this article is to assess in which way recent developments in Anglo-American philosophy of science bear on the problem of the epistemological status of the qualitative” paradigm. The main thesis of the article is that important aspects of post-positivistic philosophy of science should be accepted as necessary philosophical underpinnings of the qualitative approach to social science research. The first section of the article is devoted …
Kwantitatiewe en kwalitatiewe metodologieë in die geesteswetenskappe
Quantitative and qualitative methodologies in the human sciences. The basic aim of this article is to explicate, In terms of my own model of the research process, two concepts central to current debates in the methodology of human sciences, namely ‘quantitative‘ and ‘qualitative‘ methodology. To realize this aim, the following strategy was followed. Firstly, three concepts ‘philosophy of science’, ‘research methodology’ and ‘research technology’ …
