|Preamble=TODO: Nick add There seems to be a clear distinction between ''epistemic communities'', that have a collective intentionality to know the preambleworld, and ''non-epistemic communities'', that do not have that intentionality. Examples of the latter category include political, economic, or familial communities. For instance, as a [[Community|community]] an orchestra has a collective intentionality to play a piece of music. At the same time, an orchestra does not have a collective intentionality to know the world. In fact, this community can accept many theories (e.g. about performance technique or instrument maintenance) that may help them accomplish the collective goal of playing a piece of music. Yet, knowing the world is not part of the collective intentionality of this community. The same goes for political parties. While a political party can have its own mosaic of theories (e.g. concerning effective governance, or the ideals of society), the party lacks a collective intentionality to know the world and, thus, it is not an epistemic community. The distinction between the two subtypes of community is, therefore, important to accept.
