The question of why the South African state views the global political system as fundamentally unjust, unequal, and discriminatory is primarily related to ontology.
Explanation:
- Ontology deals with the nature of being and existence, including how different social entities and structures are understood and categorized. In this case, it examines the fundamental nature of the global political system and the perceptions held by the South African state regarding its structure and implications for justice and equality.
The other options – methodology, axiology, and epistemology – pertain to different areas:
- Methodology relates to the methods and approaches used in research.
- Axiology focuses on values and ethics within research.
- Epistemology concerns the nature and scope of knowledge and how we understand what we know.
Thus, in this context, the best fit is d. Ontology.
