Summary/Abstract: The paper focuses on the logical path from information acquiring to theory elaborating. To this end, the entire chain from signal – sign – information– knowledge – theory is examined and clarified from a logical point of view. Mainly, the passing from one to another of the chain components is analyzed in order to get the general mechanisms of theories emerging. The paper has a strong general and abstract character, so its results can be applied both to natural sciences and to social sciences like economics.
