This publication forms part of a recent programme to assess the state of the social and human sciences in South Africa. The Analysis of Research in the Human Sciences programme, as it was known, commenced in 1993 under the auspices of the Human Sciences Research Council. The programme was concluded in 1995 (final report entitled Social Knowledge for Societal Transformation). Four main areas of analysis were identified by the steering committee early on in the programme. These were: issues related to research resources; the implementation and usefulness of human sciences research; quality of research and methodological and epistemological issues. The subcommittee which was appointed to investigate methodological and epistemological issues spelt out its objectives in greater detail. The following specific goals were identified: to present a historical overview of the emergence and development of different methodological approaches within South African social sciences; to record attitudes towards methodological and epistemological developments within particular debates; to address the issue of, and future scope for, interdisciplinary work in the human and social sciences.
