Theory is a set of propositions that attempt to describe or prescribe something. Theories 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.
