A metatheory or meta-theory is a theory whose subject matter
is some theory. All fields of research share some meta-theory, regardless
whether this is explicit or correct. In a more restricted and specific sense,
in mathematics and mathematical logic, metatheory means a mathematical theory
about another mathematical theory.
A theory concerned with the investigation, analysis, or
description of theory itself.
Meta-theory is a critical exploration of the theoretical
frameworks or lenses that have provided direction to research and to
researchers, as well as the theory that has arisen from research in a
particular field of study (Neufeld, 1994).
Metatheory, a theory the subject matter of which is another
theory. A finding proved in the former that deals with the latter is known as a
metatheorem.
