Description: What Is Theory? : Cultural Theory As Discourse and Dialogue, Hardcover by Zima, Peter V., ISBN 0826490506, ISBN-13 9780826490506, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Zima (comparative literature, University of Klagenfurt, Austria) feels that scholars in linguistics, social sciences and literature have been tossing around the term "theory" for some time without examining what theory really is. Therefore he examines the term as it is used in various constructs. He differentiates scientific theory, based on mathematics, from social theory, based on linguistic structures, which must be viewed as a whole and not reduced to their components. After examining many forms of theory, Zima provides his own "meta-theory" and explains why it will help communication within disciplines. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
