- Abstract
- Theory formation is regarded as a process of domain-internal knowledge organization. Misunderstandings about the concept 'theory' are explained. A theory is considered as a systematical representation of a domain realized by three closely related theory-forming actions: establishment of a suitable system of basic concepts, ordering of the experience or given experimental results, synthesizing of conflicting hypotheses. In this view, theory formation means an ambitious kind of knowledge representation. Its consequences are summarized and its importance for the human sciences and for society is emphasized
