Abstract

The purpose of this appendix is to briefly outline the theory behind the emerging field of systems multimethodology and to indicate SAL’s underpinning philosophy. It assumes the reader is already familiar with philosophy in general and also Roy Bhaskar’s philosophy of Critical Realism. A detailed articulation of these topics is a significant work in its own right and is forthcoming. In the mean time more detail on these topics can found in Mingers (2006) which provides a good account of both the theory and philosophy of his approach to systems multimethodology which is similar to SAL but not as specific.
