|Description=[[DisciplineEpistemic Stances Towards Theories| DisciplinesTheories]] like biology, physics, and astrology [[Epistemic Stances Towards Questions| questions]] can both be the subject of the epistemic stances of [[Epistemic StanceAgent|epistemic stancesagents]]. [[CiteRef::Barseghyan (2018)]][[CiteRef::Rawleigh (2018)]][[CiteRef::Patton (2019)]] of [[Epistemic AgentDiscipline|epistemic agentsDisciplines]]like biology, physics, and astrology can also be the subject of such stances. For example, biology and physics are accepted by the scientific community of the modern world as disciplines, but astrology is rejected. In this our definition, a discipline acceptance is taken said to be derivative of accepted by an epistemic agent if that agent accepts the [[Core Question| core questions]] specified in the discipline's [[Delineating Theory Acceptance|delineating theory acceptance]] and , as well as the delineating theory itself.[[Question Acceptance|question acceptanceCiteRef::Patton and Al-Zayadi (2021)]]. A  This definition takes discipline is defined by a acceptance to be derivative of [[Delineating TheoryAcceptance|delineating theoryacceptance]], which identifies its and [[Core QuestionAcceptance|core questionsquestion acceptance]]. For example, the question 'how do matter and energy behave?' is a core question of modern physics, and the question 'how do the positions of the planets at the time of one's birth influence one's life prospects?' is a core question of astrology. To accept a disciplineIt requires first, that an epistemic agent must accept both accepts the delineating theory that identifies specifies that a particular set of core questions constituting characterize a discipline. For example, and must accept those core questions themselves. The the scientific community of the modern world accepts both that the delineating theory that classifies question 'how do matter and energy behave?' as is a core question of modern physics, and . The community also accepts the question itself. Therefore, they can be said to accept physics as a discipline. The scientific community of the modern world also accepts that the delineating theory that identifies question 'how do the positions of the planets celestial objects at the time of one's birth influence one's life prospectscharacter?' as is a core question of astrology. However, but they do not accept the question itself, because they reject its supposition that there is such an influenceexists. Thus, they reject the scientific community rejects the discipline of astrology.
