|Topic=Epistemic Community as Part of Non-Epistemic Community
|Authors List=Nicholas Overgaard,
|Formulated Year=2017
|Description=TODOAccording to [[Nicholas Overgaard|Overgaard]], communities that do not have a collective intentionality to know the world can still have sub-communities that do have such an intentionality. Overgaard illustrates this with the example of Google, a company that can be considered a [[Non-Epistemic Community|non-epistemic community]] as its collective intentionality is that to make profit. Yet, as an innovative company, Google has many sub-communities which do have a collective intentionality to know the world, such as "a research and development team trying to better know Internet technologies, or a marketing team trying to better know how to reach consumers".[[CiteRef:: Nick add Overgaard (2017)|p. 59]] By [[Epistemic Community (Overgaard-2017)|definition]], these sub-communities are [[Epistemic Community|epistemic]].Thus, argues Overgaard, it is possible for an epistemic community to be the descirptionsub-community of a non-epistemic community.
