theoreticians

Hello everybody!

Can you please help me with the following.

Can we say ...theoreticians of various fields/areas and orientations? or experts on various fields and of various orientations or simply various experts/various theoreticians?

Thank you

Dear Antonia, Perhaps you may say: theoreticians/experts in various fields theoreticians/experts in various areas theoreticians/experts of various orientations Personally, I would say «different experts». Kind regards, Goldmund

Hi,

It's not quite clear to me whether you know that an expert is not necessarily the same as a theoretician.

For example, I'd rather get into a car that has an expert driver than one that is driven by a theoretician in the field of driving!

Best wishes, Clive

Dear Goldmund,

thank you for your suggestions. Do you think it would be redundant to include both, various fields and various orientations?

Interesting advice, Clive.

What do you do when the expertise is in theorizing?

I'm wondering if what Antonia is looking for are expert theorists.

Or perhaps a theoretical expert?

Ha, ha. No way.

Actually, I was being serious.

Yes, I think I need to incorporate the fact that they are theoreticians/theorist of various fields. If I knew which fields exactly, then I could say, for example, political theorist.
