zombie theory

English

zombie theory (plural zombie theories)

A scientific theory that has been disproved, or for which attempts to prove it have failed, but which continues to be presented as a viable theory.
- 2016, George Ritzer, The Wiley-Blackwell Companion to Sociology, p. 105:
  The best example of a zombie theory is the one-time giant of American sociological theory, structural functionalism.
- 2017, John P. Dugan, Leadership Theory: Cultivating Critical Perspectives, p. 140:
  Sometimes, even when the very author of the theory argues that it has reached its threshold, the zombie theory keeps stumbling around as more than a historical reference point.
