Theory, in sociology and other fields, is knowledge.
Theories are explanations. The paradigm for
The MarkFoster.NETwork™ is called
Structurization Theory™. It is an original theory inspired by Ram Roy Bhaskar’s
Critical Realism. The theory is developed in
The Institute for Structurization Theory and throughout the network. Ontology (being) is the realist
Unities Model of Existence™. Since, however, agency is based upon attributes, not essences, the methodology or epistemology (knowledge) is the relativist
human science of
Heartfulness Inquiry™. Using it, a researcher forms relationships (structurization or emancipatory agency) with attributes (of unifying essences) which can be identified by name.
