Social epistemology is the discipline that studies the social aspects involved in the formation and the transmission of belief and knowledge, and also of the social dimension of scientific research. This discipline experienced a great development in the last decades. In this essay, I introduce two ways to classify social epistemology accounts: one distinguishes the theories on the basis of their continuity respect to traditional epistemology, the other one characterizes the accounts on the basis of the kind of epistemic subject they study. L'epistemologia sociale è la disciplina che studia gli aspetti sociali coinvolti nella formazione e trasmissione di credenze e conoscenze, e della dimensione sociale della ricerca scientifica. Tale disciplina ha visto un rapido sviluppo negli ultimi decenni. In questo contributo si propongono due classificazioni delle teorie di epistemologia sociale: una distingue gli approcci in base alla loro continuità rispetto all'epistemologia classica, l'altra caratterizza le teorie per il tipo di soggetti epistemici considerati.
