✦ Synopsis

This book provides value to anyone interested in theoryfor understanding why it exists, why it exists in the form it does, what it is (and what it is not), how to do it and when and where, and the responsibilities it entails. It is useful for those studying theory (or the philosophy of science), for those writing theory, for those critiquing theory, and for those trying to understand and apply theory. The book provides perspective in this thing (theory) that is ubiquitous, species-differentiating, and yet deeply flawed in many waysthe thing that undergirds humanitys greatest successes and continued failures. It demystifies the heart of science, while unifying the sciences in terms of goals and duties.
