Theory
Revision as of 06:04, 11 February 2016 by Hakob Barseghyan (talk | contribs)
Theory is a set of propositions that attempt to describe or prescribe something. They can be descriptive (e.g. natural, social, and formal science) or normative (e.g. methodology, ethics, and axiology). Theories can consist of thousands of interconnected propositions or, in an extreme, of one single proposition.
