Abstract
The article shows that the polysemy of the term “scientific theory” and the diffuse nature of its meaning distort the application of the tools of scientific knowledge theory. It proposes options for optimizing the concept of “scientific theory” and its relationship to the concepts of a system of theoretical knowledge and a system of supra-empirical knowledge.
