Preamble
It is obvious that communities can consist of other communities, i.e. subcommunities. For instance, the University of Toronto can be treated as a community. There are many subcommunities within this large community, such as the Institute for the History and Philosophy of Science (IHPST). The community of scientonomists can be thought of as a subcommunity within the community of the IHPST. While clearly part of larger communities, the community of scientonomists has its own collective intentionality and, therefore, qualifies as a community. Thus, it is important to accept that communities can consist of other communities.
