Economics of Markets : Neoclassical Theory, Experiments, and Theory of Classical Price Discovery
This book establishes that neoclassical economics based on the marginal utility calculus failed to derive a theory of consumer market price discovery consistent with the experimental market evidence.Such markets involve inherently discrete final-demand items bought for consumption and not subject to resale.Classical economists following Adam Smith articulated a rich narrative of price discovery theory consistent with experimental evidence based on operational concepts of discrete demand values (maximum willingness-to-pay), and symmetrically, supply costs (minimum willingness-to-accept).We develop and extend a mathematical model of classical market price formation.Chapter 1 & 2 describes this theme and chapter 3 connects it with experiments.Chapter 4 builds on experimental examples for an intuitive overview of the theory.A partial equilibrium version of the theory constitutes Chapter 5.Chapter 6 extends this framework to price formation by wealth constrained agents in multiple-goods markets.Chapter 7 applies this framework to the study of re-tradable durable-goods and financial claims that are subject to sources of instability absent in markets for consumer non-durables.

Theory After 'Theory'
This volume argues that theory, far from being dead, has undergone major shifts in order to come to terms with the most urgent cultural and political questions of today.Offering an overview of theory’s new directions, this groundbreaking collection includes essays on affect, biopolitics, biophilosophy, the aesthetic, and neoliberalism, as well as examinations of established areas such as subaltern studies, the postcolonial, and ethics. Influential figures such as Agamben, Badiou, Arendt, Deleuze, Derrida and Meillassoux are examined in a range of contexts.Gathering together some of the top thinkers in the field, this volume not only speculates on the fate of theory but shows its current diversity, encouraging conversation between divergent strands.Each section places the essays in their contexts and stages a comparison between different but ultimately related ways in which key thinkers are moving beyond poststructuralism. Contributors: Amanda Anderson, Ray Brassier, Adriana Cavarero, Eva Cherniavsky, Rey Chow, Claire Colebrook, Laurent Dubreuil, Roberto Esposito, Simon Gikandi, Martin Hagglünd, Peter Hallward, Brian Massumi, Peter Osborne, Elizabeth Povinelli, William Rasch, Henry Staten, Bernard Stiegler, Eugene Thacker, Cary Wolfe, Linda Zerilli.

Can the discovery of quarks prove string theory?
The discovery of quarks does not directly prove string theory. Quarks are fundamental particles that make up protons and neutrons, and their discovery provided evidence for the existence of subatomic particles. String theory, on the other hand, proposes that the fundamental building blocks of the universe are tiny, vibrating strings. While both quarks and string theory are important in our understanding of particle physics, the discovery of quarks does not provide direct evidence for string theory. String theory is still a theoretical framework that has not been experimentally confirmed.

Why did Kant compare his theory to the discovery of Copernicus?
Kant compared his theory to the discovery of Copernicus because he believed that his philosophical revolution was as significant as Copernicus' astronomical revolution. Just as Copernicus shifted the center of the universe from the Earth to the Sun, Kant shifted the focus of philosophy from the external world to the internal world of the mind. Kant's theory of transcendental idealism challenged the traditional understanding of knowledge and perception, much like how Copernicus' heliocentric model challenged the traditional understanding of the cosmos. By making this comparison, Kant emphasized the radical nature of his philosophical ideas and their potential to revolutionize the way we understand the world.

What are identity theory and competition theory?
Identity theory is a sociological perspective that focuses on how individuals develop and maintain a sense of self and identity through their interactions with others and their social environment. It emphasizes the importance of social roles, relationships, and cultural influences in shaping one's identity. Competition theory, on the other hand, is a perspective that examines how competition for resources, power, and status shapes social relationships and structures. It emphasizes the role of competition in driving social change, inequality, and conflict within societies. Both theories offer valuable insights into the ways in which individuals and societies are shaped by their social interactions and the broader social context.

Is the Big Bang Theory just a theory?
The Big Bang Theory is more than just a theory; it is a well-supported scientific model that explains the origin and evolution of the universe. It is supported by a wide range of observational evidence, such as the cosmic microwave background radiation and the redshift of galaxies. The theory has also made successful predictions about the abundance of light elements in the universe. While it is called a "theory," in scientific terms, a theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world that is based on a body of evidence. Therefore, the Big Bang Theory is a robust and widely accepted scientific explanation for the origin of the universe.

Discovery of Grounded Theory : Strategies for Qualitative Research
Most writing on sociological method has been concerned with how accurate facts can be obtained and how theory can thereby be more rigorously tested.In The Discovery of Grounded Theory, Barney Glaser and Anselm Strauss address the equally Important enterprise of how the discovery of theory from data—systematically obtained and analyzed in social research—can be furthered.The discovery of theory from data—grounded theory—is a major task confronting sociology, for such a theory fits empirical situations, and is understandable to sociologists and laymen alike.Most important, it provides relevant predictions, explanations, interpretations, and applications.In Part I of the book, "Generation Theory by Comparative Analysis," the authors present a strategy whereby sociologists can facilitate the discovery of grounded theory, both substantive and formal.This strategy involves the systematic choice and study of several comparison groups.In Part II, The Flexible Use of Data," the generation of theory from qualitative, especially documentary, and quantitative data Is considered.In Part III, "Implications of Grounded Theory," Glaser and Strauss examine the credibility of grounded theory.The Discovery of Grounded Theory is directed toward improving social scientists' capacity for generating theory that will be relevant to their research.While aimed primarily at sociologists, it will be useful to anyone Interested In studying social phenomena—political, educational, economic, industrial— especially If their studies are based on qualitative data.

Code : From Information Theory to French Theory
In Code Bernard Dionysius Geoghegan reconstructs how Progressive Era technocracy as well as crises of industrial democracy and colonialism shaped early accounts of cybernetics and digital media by theorists including Norbert Wiener, Warren Weaver, Margaret Mead, Gregory Bateson, Claude Lévi-Strauss, Roman Jakobson, Jacques Lacan, Roland Barthes, and Luce Irigaray.His analysis casts light on how media-practical research forged common epistemic cause in programs that stretched from 1930s interwar computing at MIT and eugenics to the proliferation of seminars and laboratories in 1960s Paris.This mobilization ushered forth new fields of study such as structural anthropology, family therapy, and literary semiology while forming enduring intellectual affinities between the humanities and informatics.With Code, Geoghegan offers a new history of French theory and the digital humanities as transcontinental and political endeavors linking interwar colonial ethnography in Dutch Bali to French sciences in the throes of Cold War-era decolonization and modernization.

Why is the Two-Source Theory a theory?
The Two-Source Theory is considered a theory because it proposes a specific explanation for the literary relationship between the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke. This theory suggests that Matthew and Luke used Mark's Gospel as a source, as well as another common source known as "Q" (from the German word "Quelle," meaning source). While the Two-Source Theory is widely accepted among biblical scholars, it is still a theory because it is based on scholarly analysis and interpretation of the textual similarities and differences between the Gospels, rather than definitive historical evidence.
-
Is the theory of evolution still a theory?
Yes, the theory of evolution is still considered a scientific theory. In scientific terms, a theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world that is based on a body of evidence. The theory of evolution is supported by a vast amount of evidence from various scientific disciplines, including genetics, paleontology, and comparative anatomy. It has undergone rigorous testing and scrutiny, and continues to be a foundational concept in the field of biology. Therefore, it is still considered a valid and widely accepted scientific theory.

Which theory is applied in relation to South Korea: dependency theory or modernization theory?
In relation to South Korea, the modernization theory is more commonly applied. This theory suggests that countries develop and progress through stages of economic growth, technological advancement, and social change. South Korea is often cited as a successful example of modernization theory, as it rapidly transformed from a poor, agrarian society to a highly industrialized and technologically advanced nation in a relatively short period of time. Dependency theory, on the other hand, focuses on the idea that developing countries are exploited and kept in a state of underdevelopment by more powerful, industrialized nations.

What are the extremism theory and the horseshoe theory?
Extremism theory posits that extremist ideologies on opposite ends of the political spectrum share similar characteristics, such as intolerance, authoritarianism, and a willingness to use violence to achieve their goals. Horseshoe theory suggests that the far-left and far-right ideologies are more similar to each other than to the moderate center, forming a horseshoe shape where the extremes bend towards each other. Both theories highlight the potential for radical ideologies to converge in their methods and goals despite appearing to be ideologically opposed.
