Abstract

     The philosophy of science will be examined to define the boundaries of research in the social sciences. What are universities/governments doing to promote research about social issues? Are they looking only at the traditional model of scientific research that is familiar to them? Experimental research is highly familiar to them but social science research is unfamiliar, and this poses the threat of taking research administrators to the cusp of the unknown and into ways of knowing with which they are unfamiliar.
