Changes

{{TheoryThis theory consists of the following claims:|Title=Epistemic Elements - Theories and Methods|* [[Theory Type=Descriptive|Formulation Text=The two classes of elements that can undergo scientific change are accepted theories (as Is a set Subtype of propositions that attempts to describe something) and employed methods Epistemic Element (as a set of criteria for theory evaluation).|Topic=Epistemic Elements|Authors List=Hakob Barseghyan,|Formulated Year=2015|Description=According to Barseghyan, "at any moment of time, there are certain theories and certain methods employed in theory assessment".[[CiteRef::Barseghyan (-2015)|p.5]] Thus, [[Theory|theories]] and * [[Method|methods]] are the two types Is a Subtype of elements that undergo scientific change; as such, they constitute the ontology of scientific change. Importantly, in this ontology, the class of theories only includes ''descriptive'' propositions; ''normative'' propositions Epistemic Element (such as those of ethics or methodology) are left out of the ontology.|Resource=Barseghyan (-2015)|Page Status=Needs Editing}}{{Acceptance Record|Community=Community:Scientonomy|Accepted From Era=CE|Accepted From Year=2016|Accepted From Month=January|Accepted From Day=1|Accepted From Approximate=No|Acceptance Indicators=This formulation was tacitly accepted together with the rest of the original TSC. It was made explicit on January 16, 2017 when [[Nicholas Overgaard]] suggested that the question of ontology of a certain field shouldn't be answered via definitions alone.
