Abstract:
Purpose - The purpose of the article is to highlight areas of potential research which will provide a deeper understanding of sustainable development and allow a more structured approach to the development of knowledge in such a broad topic. Design/methodology/approach - The approach has been to identify the philosophy of Herman Dooyeweerd and his theory of the cosmos as a means by which knowledge can be gained, understood and developed. This approach has allowed a useful framework to be developed which provides a checklist, a deep understanding and a place to structure and place emerging knowledge. It also allows some understanding of the strength of the interrelationships between modalities which contribute to sustainable development. Findings - The findings are still being investigated but several case studies have been undertaken which suggest that this philosophical approach is a useful way forward. Research limitations/implications - The research is the development of a methodology and as such will develop and emerge over time. In this connection the article suggests four areas namely
