%X In this article, I explore the field of metatheory with two goals. My first goal is to present a clear understanding of what metatheory Ħ°isĦħ based on a collection of over twenty definitions of the term. My second goal is to present a preliminary investigation into how metatheory might be understood as a science. From that perspective, I present some strengths and weaknesses of our field and suggest steps to make metatheory more rigorous, more scientific, and so make more of a contribution to the larger community of the social sciences.
