Abstract

Qualitative research seeks to contribute to knowledge of the social world. This means that questions about what constitutes quality or ‘goodness’ in qualitative research come back to philosophical issues of ontology, epistemology and ethics – what is the nature of the world, how can we know it, and what is good or right action in the world? Our quest for knowledge is not a quest for ‘truth’ but rather a quest to understand how people experience and re-interpret the world.
