ГИПОТЕТИКО-ДЕДУКТИВНАЯ ТЕОРИЯ

Hypothetico-Deductive Theory

A form of logical arrangement of knowledge in the natural sciences. Hypothetico-Deductive Theory is an application of the deductive or axiomatic theory (employed in mathematical methodology) to the specific problems of natural science based on experiments and observations. In addition to the rules governing deductive systems in general, Hypothetico-Deductive Theory should also meet the requirements of empirical interpretation, which facilitates empirical verification of propositions. Empirical interpretation is achieved through so-called interpretative propositions, which connect the meaning of theoretical concepts with some of the immediately observable properties (see Operational Definitions).
