Revision as of 23:16, 4 September 2016 by Hakob Barseghyan (talk | contribs)
What is epistemic community? How should it be defined? I.e. how is it different form non-epistemic community?
The term is widely used in many contexts when referring to communities that have to do with knowledge. The term needs a proper definition to make it clear what differentiates epistemic communities from non-epistemic communities.
In the scientonomic context, this term was first used by Nicholas Overgaard in 2016. The term is currently accepted by Scientonomy community.
