|Question=Can the epistemic stance of ''scientificity'' be taken towards ''questions''? Can there be unscientific or pseudoscientific questions?
|Topic Type=Descriptive
|Description=TODOSarwar and Fraser have argued that an independent stance, called ''scientificity'', can be taken towards ''theories'', namely that epistemic agents can consider a given theory as scientific or unscientific independent of any other stances an agent may take towards it.[[CiteRef: Add a description:Sarwar and Fraser (2018)]] The question, then, arises whether epistemic agents can take the stance of scientificity towards questions. Do they regard certain questions as scientific but do not puruse them? Are some questions explored by epistemic agents even though they are not, at the time of exploration, considered scientific? Whether or not, and if so, how, the stance of scientificity is taken towards questions is an important topic of scientonomic inquiry.
