Abstract
The purpose of this chapter is to examine several epistemological questions underlying the nature of theory in the environment-behavior (EB) and design fields.1 Among these questions are: What is an EB theory, or, said differently, what are the necessary and sufficient conditions for something to be called a theory? What is the form and scope of different things that purport to be theories dealing with EB relations? What are the similarities and differences between EB theories and design theories, and is it possible to integrate theories linking environment, behavior, and design?2
