|Preamble=The concept of an ''epistemic agent'' was made reference to by [[Hakob Barseghyan|Barseghyan]],[[CiteRef::Barseghyan (2018)]] but currently lacks a scientonomic definition. [[Community|Communities]] are taken to be capable of [[Epistemic Agents - Community (Barseghyan-2015)|"bearing a scientific mosaic"]].[[CiteRef::Barseghyan (2015)|pp. 43-52]] ButYet, there are many uncertainties about what "bearing a mosaic" actually means. For example, must a bearer of a mosaic be familiar, in full detail, with every theory, question, and method in the mosaic? Given such uncertainties it is not clear that "mosaic bearing" is actually the best way to define characterize epistemic agency. In addition, the issue of whether individuals can be epistemic agents, or whether tools and instruments can be requires clarification. For all these reasons, a clear definition of [[Epistemic Agent|epistemic agent]] is needed.
