We formulate a theory of instability and Harder-Narasimhan filtrations for an arbitrary moduli problem in algebraic geometry. We introduce the notion of a $\Theta$-stratification of a moduli problem, which generalizes the Kempf-Ness stratification in GIT as well as the Harder-Narasimhan stratification for coherent sheaves on a projective scheme, and establish necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of these stratifications. For a certain class of algebraic stacks, which we call $\Theta$-reductive, the existence of $\Theta$-stratifications can be reduced to solving a relatively straightforward "boundedness" problem. We apply our methods to an example that lies beyond the reach of classical methods: the stratification of the stack of objects in the heart of a Bridgeland stability condition.
