| + | This theory consists of the following claims: |
| − | |Title=Ontology of Scientific Change - Theories and Methods
| + | * [[Theory Is a Subtype of Epistemic Element (Barseghyan-2015)]] |
| − | |Theory Type=Descriptive
| + | * [[Method Is a Subtype of Epistemic Element (Barseghyan-2015)]] |
| − | |Formulation Text=The two classes of elements that can undergo scientific change are accepted theories (as a set of propositions that attempts to describe something) and employed methods (as a set of criteria for theory evaluation).
| + | * [[Descriptive Theory Is a Subtype of Theory (Barseghyan-2015)]] |
| − | |Topic=Ontology of Scientific Change
| |
| − | |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 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.

| − | |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. See [[Modification_talk:Sciento-2016-0002]] for details.
