We discuss the role of propositions, truth, context and observers in scientific theories. We introduce the concept of generalized proposition and use it to define an algorithm for the classification of any scientific theory. The algorithm assigns a number 0, 1, 2 or 3 to a given theory, thereby classifying it as of metaphysical, mathematical, classical or quantum class. The objective is to provide an impartial method of assessing the scientific status of any theory.
