|Preamble=TODO: Nick add Once the preambledistinction between [[Epistemic Community|epistemic]] and [[Non-Epistemic Community|non-epistemic]] communities becomes accepted, we have to inquire as to whether an epistemic community can be the sub-community of a non-epistemic community. There are cases that suggest that this might be so. Consider, for instance the community of Google. It can be argued that Google is a non-epistemic community, since it lacks a collective intentionality to know the world. Instead, its collective intentionality is to maximize profit. Yet, as an innovative company Google has many research and development teams trying to improve their understanding of Internet technologies, as well as marketing teams aiming at advancing their knowledge of how to reach consumers. In this sense, Google’s research and development or marketing teams can be considered epistemic communities as they have a collective intentionality to better know some element of the world. Thus, it appears as though epistemic communities can be part of non-epistemic communities such as Google.
