What types of epistemic stances can be taken by epistemic agents towards methods?
Since epistemic stances can be taken towards norms, it is important to know what types of stances can be taken towards them.
In the scientonomic context, this question was first formulated in 2015. The question is currently accepted as a legitimate topic for discussion by Scientonomy community.
In Scientonomy, the accepted answers to the question can be summarized as follows:
- The stance of compatibility can be taken towards an epistemic element.
- The stance of norm employment can be taken towards a normative theory.
- The stances of theory acceptance, theory pursuit and theory use can be taken towards a theory.

Current View
In Scientonomy, the accepted answers to the question are Epistemic Stances Towards Epistemic Elements - Compatibility (Fraser-Sarwar-2018), Epistemic Stances Towards Normative Theories - Norm Employment (Barseghyan-2018), Epistemic Stances Towards Theories - Theory Acceptance (Barseghyan-2015), Epistemic Stances Towards Theories - Theory Pursuit (Barseghyan-2015) and Epistemic Stances Towards Theories - Theory Use (Barseghyan-2015).
Epistemic Stances Towards Epistemic Elements
Epistemic Stances Towards Epistemic Elements - Compatibility (Fraser-Sarwar-2018) states: "The stance of compatibility can be taken towards an epistemic element."
Fraser and Sarwar argued that, as an epistemic stance, compatibility can be taken towards epistemic elements of all types.1
Epistemic Stances Towards Normative Theories
Epistemic Stances Towards Normative Theories - Norm Employment (Barseghyan-2018) states: "The stance of norm employment can be taken towards a normative theory."
In his "Redrafting the Ontology of Scientific Change", Barseghyan argued that since norms are a subtype of theory, all the epistemic stances that can in principle be taken by an epistemic agent towards theories of all types can also be taken towards norms. In addition to these more universal stances, norms can also be employed, i.e. they have the capacity of constituting the actual expectations of the epistemic agent. This applies to norms of all types.2
Epistemic Stances Towards Theories
Epistemic Stances Towards Theories - Theory Acceptance (Barseghyan-2015) states: "The stance of theory acceptance can be taken towards a theory."
According to Barseghyan, acceptance as an epistemic stance can be taken towards theories.3
Epistemic Stances Towards Theories - Theory Pursuit (Barseghyan-2015) states: "The stance of theory pursuit can be taken towards a theory."
According to Barseghyan, the epistemic stance of pursuit can be taken towards theories, i.e. an epistemic agent can find a theory pursuitworthy.3
Epistemic Stances Towards Theories - Theory Use (Barseghyan-2015) states: "The stance of theory use can be taken towards a theory."
According to Barseghyan, the epistemic stance of use can be taken towards theories, i.e. an epistemic agent can find a theory useful.3
