|Question=What is '''epistemic element'''? How should it be ''defined''?
|Description=In a framework that views the process of scientific change as a series of changes transitions in epistemic stances of epistemic agents towards epistemic elements it is important to have a clear notion of what an epistemic element is.
|Authors List=Hakob Barseghyan
|Formulated Year=2015
|Prehistory=
|History=The term has been explicitly in use since 2018; several articles published in the 2018 issue of ''Scientonomy'' explicitly make use of the term [[Epistemic Element|epistemic element]] and take it for granted that these are part of the process of scientific change.[[CiteRef::Rawleigh (2018)]][[CiteRef::Barseghyan (2018)]][[CiteRef::Fraser and Sarwar (2018)]][[CiteRef::Sarwar and Fraser (2018)]] Yet, the term has been tacitly accepted since the inception of the community, as indicated by the acceptance of an ontology of epistemic elements.
|Current View=While Although an explicitly explicit definition of the term is still yet to be suggested, epistemic elements are roughly understood as those semantic entities towards which an epistemic agent can take an epistemic stance.
