Description

According to Barseghyan, "at any moment of time, there are certain theories and certain methods employed in theory assessment".1p.5 Thus, theories and methods are the two types 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 (such as those of ethics or methodology) are left out of the ontology.
