|Description=Given that What is the TSC concerns relation between the [[Scope mosaic of Scientonomy - Social (Barseghyan-2015)|social, or a communal level]] of scientific change, how does epistemic agent and the communal level of scientific mosaics arise out of [[Community|communities]] the members of individualsthat community? In a similar vein, Is it has been asked whether it is possible to reduce the communal mosaic to a function of the mosaics of individuals?
[[Barseghyan (2015)]] discusses and rejects two views that relate the individual and the social: the ''elitist'' and ''majoritarianist'' views. The elitist view holds that the mosaic of a scientific community comes to reflect the individual scientific mosaic of prominent scientists and figureheads in the community. The majoritarianist view holds that the mosaic of the community reflects the mosaic that a majority of individuals themselves hold.[[CiteRef::Barseghyan (2015)|pp. 48-51]]
