|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]] 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 is said to be accepted by an epistemic agent if that agent accepts the core questions specified in the discipline's delineating theory, as well as the delineating theory itself. This definition takes discipline acceptance is taken to be derivative of [[Theory Acceptance|theory acceptance]] and [[Question Acceptance|question acceptance]]. A discipline is defined by a [[Delineating Theory|It requires first, that an agent accepts the delineating theory]], which identifies its [[Core Question|that specifies that a particular set of core questions]]are definitive of a discipline. For example, the scientific community accepts that the question 'how do matter and energy behave?' is a core question of modern physics, and . The community also accepts 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 astrologyitself. To accept a discipline Therefore, an epistemic agent must they can be said to accept both the delineating theory that identifies a set of core questions constituting physics as a discipline, and must accept those core questions themselves. The scientific community of the modern world also accepts both the delineating theory that classifies 'how do matter and energy behave?' as a core question of physics, and accepts the question itself. The scientific community accepts the delineating theory that identifies 'how do the positions of the planets at the time of one's birth influence one's life prospects?' 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.
