Answer 3

A theory is a contemplative and rational type of abstract or generalizing thinking, or the results of such thinking. Depending on the context, the results might, for example, include generalized explanations of how nature works. The word has its roots in ancient Greek, but in modern use it has taken on several different related meanings.



Theories guide the enterprise of finding facts rather than of reaching goals, and are neutral concerning alternatives among values.[1]:131 A theory can be a body of knowledge, which may or may not be associated with particular explanatory models. To theorize is to develop this body of knowledge.[2]:46



As already in Aristotle's definitions, theory is very often contrasted to "practice" (from Greek praxis, πρᾶξις) a Greek term for doing, which is opposed to theory because pure theory involves no doing apart from itself. A classical example of the distinction between "theoretical" and "practical" uses the discipline of medicine: medical theory involves trying to understand the causes and nature of health and sickness, while the practical side of medicine is trying to make people healthy. These two things are related but can be independent, because it is possible to research health and sickness without curing specific patients, and it is possible to cure a patient without knowing how the cure worked.[3]

Answer 4

When you have a theory, you have a set of beliefs or principles that might not be proven yet. Does anyone have a good theory for where missing socks go when you do laundry?

A theory is a set of accepted beliefs or organized principles that explain and guide analysis and one of the ways that theory is defined is that it is different from practice, when certain principles are tested. For example, you could be a musician who plays well but who doesn't have a lot of experience with the theory of music. This word is a noun and comes from the Greek theoria, which means "contemplation or speculation."

A stapler is a practical object––it has a use. A hand-crocheted stapler cozy designed to keep a stapler warm at night? Not practical at all. The word practice, in the sense of "doing," is embedded in the word practical, which is all about "doing." "Is it practical?" means, is it good to do this? Does it have a use? Will it work? Silk shoes in a rainstorm? They're just not practical. A London Fog raincoat? Definitely practical.

Answer 5

A theory is a formal idea or set of ideas that is intended to explain something. If you have a theory about something, you have your own opinion about it which you cannot prove but which you think is true; a set of hypotheses related by logical or mathematical arguments to explain and predict a wide variety of connected phenomena in general terms; a speculative or conjectural view or idea



The theory of a practical subject or skill is the set of rules and principles that form the basis of it.

The practical aspects of something involve real situations and events, rather than just ideas and theories. You describe people as practical when they make sensible decisions and deal effectively with problems. Practical ideas and methods are likely to be effective or successful in a real situation. You can describe clothes and things in your house as practical when they are suitable for a particular purpose rather than just being fashionable or attractive; of, involving, or concerned with experience or actual use; not theoretical; being such for all useful or general purposes
