A framework that seeks to understand and classify the different types of scientific paradigms themselves. It's a paradigm about paradigms. For instance, it might categorize paradigms as reductionist vs. holistic, deterministic vs. probabilistic, or mechanistic vs. vitalistic. It asks: What are the meta-categories that all scientific worldviews fall into? This is a bird's-eye view of the landscape of possible scientific thought.
Scientific Metaparadigm Theory Example: Seeing Darwinian evolution (contingent, historical) and Newtonian physics (deterministic, law-based) as belonging to two different Metaparadigms—one focused on narrative and history, the other on timeless laws—is an act of Scientific Metaparadigm Theory. It helps explain why these fields have such different cultures and standards of proof.

Academic Metaparadigm Theory

Similar to Meta-academic Paradigm Theory, but focused specifically on the paradigms that define entire academic disciplines from a higher level. It asks: What are the super-categories that organize knowledge? Is the fundamental divide between the sciences and the humanities? Or between theoretical and applied fields? This theory maps the architecture of the academy itself and how it channels intellectual inquiry.
Academic Metaparadigm Theory Example: The "Two Cultures" divide identified by C.P. Snow—between the scientific and literary intellectual cultures—is a classic Academic Metaparadigm. It explains why a physicist and a poet might have such different values, methods, and notions of truth, and why interdisciplinary work between them is so rare and difficult.

A high-level theory about the nature of cognitive paradigms themselves. It classifies and analyzes the different possible kinds of models we can have for the mind—are they primarily computational, biological, phenomenological, or social? This meta-theory helps explain why cognitive scientists from different sub-fields often talk past each other; they're not just using different models, they're operating in different meta-frameworks about what a model of the mind should even look like.
Cognitive Metaparadigm Theory Example: The fierce debate between proponents of Classical Computationalism (the mind as a symbol processor) and Embodied Dynamical Systems (the mind as a body interacting with an environment) is a clash not just of paradigms, but of Cognitive Metaparadigms. One sees the mind as essentially like a computer program; the other sees it as essentially like a weather system or a walking gait.
