Abstract
This is a reflective or theoretical paper, which examines some of the ideas that underpin the practice of non-empirical or theoretical research. The paper explores different ways in which the word theory is used, defines theoretical research and describes the limits of theoretical understanding. It then discusses discourse and reflection, and proceeds to describe how empirical and theoretical research strategies differ. The paper offers a suggestion as to how to undertake theoretical research and points out how such research may be evaluated.
