|Description=TODOAn ''epistemic agent'' acts in relation to [[Epistemic Element|epistemic elements]] such as theories, questions, and methods. The actions of an epistemic agent amount to taking [[Epistemic Stance|epistemic stances]] towards these elements, such as accepting or pursuing a theory, accepting a question, or employing a method. The stances of an epistemic agent must be ''intentional''. To be so, they must satisfy the following conditions: # the agent must have a semantic understanding of the propositions that constitute the epistemic element in question and of its available alternatives; and # the agent must be able to choose from among the available alternatives with reason, and for the purpose of acquiring knowledge.[[CiteRef::Patton (2019)]]
