Epistemically Different Epistemic Peers

open access: yesTopoi, 2019
For over a decade now epistemologists have been thinking about the peer disagreement problem of whether a person is reasonable in not lowering her confidence in her belief P when she comes to accept that she has an epistemic peer on P who disbelieves P.

Discovering Disagreeing Epistemic Peers and Superiors

International Journal of Philosophical Studies, 2012
Abstract Suppose you know that someone is your epistemic peer regarding some topic. You admit that you cannot think of any relevant epistemic advantage you have over her when it comes to that topic; you admit that she is just as likely as you to get P’s truth-value right.

On Merely Modal Epistemic Peers: Challenging the Equal-Weight View

Philosophia (United States), 2012
There is a controversy, within social epistemology, over how to handle disagreement among epistemic peers. Call this the problem of peer disagreement.

Query Processing in Peer-to-Peer Systems: An Epistemic Logic Approach

2005
In peer-to-peer (P2P) systems, each peer exports information in terms of its own schema, and interoperation is achieved by means of mappings among the peer schemas. Peers are autonomous systems and mappings are dynamically created and changed. One of the challenges in these systems is processing queries posed to one peer taking into account the ...
