 Received view of theories

The "received view" of a theory, particularly in the context of philosophy of science, refers to a dominant or widely accepted perspective on a particular theoretical framework. This term is often used in discussions about scientific theories, emphasizing how certain theories are generally acknowledged and endorsed by a specific community of scholars or practitioners. In the philosophy of science, the received view may encompass a set of beliefs about how scientific theories should be understood, validated, and related to empirical data.
