A framework for mapping the plurality of sciences across multiple continuous spectra—not ranking them as "hard" or "soft" but understanding their positions in multidimensional space. Theory of the Spectrum of Sciences maps sciences across dimensions: quantitative-qualitative, reductionist-holistic, experimental-observational, pure-applied, and many others. Each science has coordinates; no science is "better" overall—just differently positioned for different purposes. This theory reveals that the diversity of sciences is a feature, not a bug—different tools for different jobs, all valuable in their own domains.
Theory of the Spectrum of Sciences "You rank sciences from 'hard' to 'soft.' Theory of the Spectrum of Sciences says: that's one dimension, and it's not even the most important. Map sciences across multiple spectra—quantitative, reductionist, experimental, applied—and you see richness, not hierarchy. Physics isn't 'better' than ecology; it's differently positioned for different questions. The spectrum shows the diversity that ranking hides."

Contextualist Sciences recognizes that physics is done in physics contexts, ecology in ecological contexts, and these contexts shape what counts as good science. There's no one-size-fits-all scientific method; there are methods adapted to contexts. Contextualist Sciences studies how context shapes each science, how methods migrate between contexts, and what happens when sciences are transplanted from their native contexts.
Theory of Contextualist Sciences "You try to apply physics methods to ecology. Contextualist Sciences says: different contexts, different methods. Ecology has its own history, its own questions, its own standards. Methods aren't portable without adaptation. Context matters. The sciences are many because contexts are many. Contextualism respects the diversity."

Get the Theory of Contextualist Sciences mug.A framework for understanding the plurality of sciences as arising from different perspectives—each science offering a particular view of reality, none capturing everything. Perspectivist Sciences recognizes that physics sees the world as matter in motion; biology sees it as living systems; psychology sees it as minded experience. Each perspective is valid, each partial, each revealing something the others miss. Perspectivist Sciences studies how these perspectives relate, how they complement and sometimes conflict, and how multiple perspectives together give richer understanding than any single one.
Theory of Perspectivist Sciences "You want one science to explain everything. Perspectivist Sciences says: impossible. Physics explains matter; biology explains life; psychology explains mind. Each perspective reveals something the others miss. Truth isn't in any single perspective; it's in the conversation between them. Perspectivism isn't relativism—it's recognizing that reality is too rich for one view."

Get the Theory of Perspectivist Sciences mug.A framework applying postmodern critique to the plurality of sciences—questioning grand narratives about scientific unity, exposing power relations embedded in disciplinary boundaries, deconstructing hierarchies among sciences, and attending to marginalized sciences excluded from the canon. Postmodernist Sciences doesn't deny that sciences produce knowledge—it denies that the current configuration of sciences is natural, inevitable, or complete. It studies how disciplines form, how boundaries are drawn, how some sciences become prestigious while others are marginalized, and how excluded knowledges haunt the scientific field.
Theory of Postmodernist Sciences "You think the current sciences are just natural categories. Postmodernist Sciences asks: why physics at the top? Why is some knowledge 'science' and other knowledge 'tradition'? These aren't natural; they're historical, political. Postmodernism doesn't reject sciences—it asks why they're arranged this way, who benefits, and what's been excluded. The questions are uncomfortable; that's the point."

Get the Theory of Postmodernist Sciences mug.A framework for understanding the plurality of sciences as relative to their frameworks, contexts, and purposes—what counts as good science in one framework may not in another. Relativist Sciences doesn't claim all sciences are equally valid; it claims that scientific validity is always validity-within-a-framework. Newtonian physics is valid within its domain; quantum physics within its. Ecology has its own standards; molecular biology its own. Relativist Sciences studies these framework-relative validities and the relationships between frameworks—how they translate, how they conflict, how they complement.
Theory of Relativist Sciences "Is ecology or molecular biology more scientific? Relativist Sciences says: wrong question. Each is scientific within its own framework, with its own standards. They're not competing; they're complementary. Relativism isn't giving up on rigor—it's recognizing that rigor takes different forms in different contexts. The question isn't which is more scientific; it's which framework fits which question."

Critical Theory of Science asks: Who funds research? Whose questions get asked? Whose bodies get studied? Who benefits from findings? It doesn't reject science but subjects it to relentless critique, revealing how apparently neutral knowledge serves particular interests. Drawing on Marx, the Frankfurt School, and Science and Technology Studies, Critical Theory of Science insists that understanding science requires understanding the society that produces it—and that science can be otherwise.
"They say science is neutral, just facts. Critical Theory of Science asks: neutral for whom? Funded by whom? Serving whose interests? The questions that get asked, the studies that get funded, the results that get published—all shaped by power. Not to dismiss science, but to understand it. Science can be a tool of liberation, but only if we see the chains first."
