{{Theory|Title=Epistemic Stances - Acceptance Use and Pursuit|Theory Type=Descriptive|Alternate Titles=|Formulation Text=The list This is a grouping of possible stances towards a theory includes ''acceptance'', ''use'', and ''pursuit''.three claims:|Formulation File=|Topic=* [[Epistemic Stances Towards Theories|Authors List=Hakob Barseghyan|Formulated Year=2015|Description=There are three distinct stances that one can take towards a theory - [[Theory Acceptance|acceptance(Barseghyan-2015)]], * [[Epistemic Stances Towards Theories - Theory Use|usePursuit (Barseghyan-2015)]], and * [[Epistemic Stances Towards Theories - Theory Pursuit|pursuit]]. These stances are in principle independent from each other, meaning that one stance one can take any these stances towards a theory without taking the other stances. Thus, all of the following combinations are possible: * a theory is accepted, used, and pursued at the same time; * a theory is accepted and used without being pursued; * a theory is accepted and pursued without being used; * a theory is used and pursued without being accepted; * a theory is only accepted; * a theory is only used; * a theory is only pursued;* a theory is neither accepted, nor used, nor pursued.|Resource=Use (Barseghyan (-2015)|Prehistory=|History=|Page Status=Stub|Editor Notes=}}{{YouTube Video|VideoID=MZ2AjYYHfrw|VideoStartAt=122|VideoDescription=The distinction between acceptance, use, and pursuit explained by Hakob Barseghyan|VideoEmbedSection=Description}}{{Acceptance Record|Community=Community:Scientonomy|Accepted From Era=CE|Accepted From Year=2016|Accepted From Month=January|Accepted From Day=1|Accepted From Approximate=No|Acceptance Indicators=The distinction became ''de facto'' accepted by the community at that time together with the whole [[The Theory of Scientific Change|theory of scientific change]].|Still Accepted=Yes|Accepted Until Era=|Accepted Until Year=|Accepted Until Month=|Accepted Until Day=|Accepted Until Approximate=No|Rejection Indicators=}}
