|Topic=Epistemic Stances Towards Theories
|Authors List=Hakob Barseghyan,
|Formulated Year=2015
|Description=There are three distinct stances that one can take towards a theory:* - [[Theory Acceptance|acceptance]]: one can take the theory as the best available description of its object;* , [[Theory Use|use]]: one can take the theory as a useful tool for practical applications;* , and [[Theory Pursuit|pursuit]]: . These stances are in principle independent from each other, meaning that one stance one can take any these stances towards a theory without taking the other stances. Thus, all of the following combinations are possible: * a theory as worthy of further elaborationis accepted, used, and pursued at the same time; * a theory is accepted and used without being pursued; * a theory is accepted and pursued without being used; * a theory is used and pursued without being accepted; * a theory is only accepted; * a theory is only used; * a theory is only pursued;* a theory is neither accepted, nor used, nor pursued.
