Theoretical research enables you to explore and discuss a research object on the basis of your use of abstract theoretical structures and philosophical concepts.

You cannot, in theoretical research,  directly observe the research object. The aim of your research is to define and outline conceptual models, explanations and structures of the chosen topic with the help of research literature.
