In philosophy, theory (from ancient Greek theoria, ??????, meaning ""a looking at, viewing, beholding"") refers to contemplation or speculation, as opposed to action. Theory is especially often contrasted to ""practice"" a concept that in its original Aristotelian context referred to actions done for their own sake, but can also refer to ""technical"" actions instrumental to some other aim, such as the making of tools or houses. ""Theoria"" is also a word still used in theological contexts.
