Theoria: “The word ‘theory’ stems from the Greek theorein. The noun belonging to it is theoria. Peculiar to these is a lofty and mysterious meaning. The verb theorein grew out of the coalescing of two root words, thea and horao. Thea (cf. theatre) is the outward look, the aspect, in which something shows itself. Plato names this aspect in which what presences shows what it is, eidos. To have seen this aspect, eidenai, is to know. The second root word in theorein, horao, means: to look at something attentively, to look it over, to view it closely.” Heidegger, Science and Reflection (1954).
