I’ve always seen theory as a rather ”fuzzy” concept, knowing that it’s closely related to knowledge and ways of ”leading” it, but not really seeing the details. It was interesting to see it being structured like the subjects theories themselves aim to structure.
Unfortunately I haven’t been able to attend the seminars the latest weeks, or dedicate that much time to reflection of the topic of theory. But as I finished reading the article of my choice and started to answer the questions, I thought about the fact that many articles use theory to structure theory. Since theory is more or less about structuring knowledge, this means that articles structure structures. And since the theories on the ”lowest” level most likely also structure theories in some way not mentioned explicitly in the texts, this should mean that theories more or less form a long chain of structures structuring structures etc... It made me wonder how ”long”, so to say, this chain is on average in todays academic circles. How deeps is the rabbit hole? (Or if you will, the rabbit’s chain of structure)
