What types of epistemic stances can be taken by epistemic agents towards definitions?
It is important to establish what epistemic stances can be taken by epistemic agents towards definitions.
In the scientonomic context, this question was first formulated by Hakob Barseghyan in 2018. 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 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 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.1p. 70
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.2pp. 30-32
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.2pp. 30-40
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.2pp. 30-40
