The Epistemology of Group Disagreement

open access: yes, 2020
This book brings together philosophers to investigate the nature and normativity of group disagreement. Debates in the epistemology of disagreement have mainly been concerned with idealized cases of peer disagreement between individuals. However, most real-life disagreements are complex and often take place within and between groups.

Disagreement and the Epistemology of Theology

open access: yes, 2017
Philosophers of religion and theologians have long discussed the following question: should an awareness of disagreement about religious questions lead a theist to lose confidence in his or her own religious convictions?

Epistemology of Disagreement: Which Disagreement?

Grazer Philosophische Studien
Abstract Far from considering the phenomenon of disagreement across the board, the peer debate in epistemology solely focuses on cases of disagreements that are at least assumed to be genuine. What counts as a genuine disagreement is most of the times kept on the level of a pre-theoretical intuition according to which the peers disagree insofar as they

A patchwork epistemology of disagreement?

Philosophical Studies, 2018
The epistemology of disagreement standardly divides conciliationist views from steadfast views. But both sorts of views are subject to counterexample—indeed, both sorts of views are subject to the same counterexample. After presenting this counterexample, I explore how the epistemology of disagreement should be reconceptualized in light of it.

Calibrated probabilities and the epistemology of disagreement

SynthÈse, 2011
This paper assesses the comparative reliability of two belief-revision rules relevant to the epistemology of disagreement, the Equal Weight and Stay the Course rules. I use two measures of reliability for probabilistic belief-revision rules, calibration and Brier Scoring, to give a precise account of epistemic peerhood and epistemic reliability. On the

Disagreement as Evidence: The Epistemology of Controversy

Philosophy Compass, 2009
Abstract How much should your confidence in your beliefs be shaken when you learn that others – perhaps ‘epistemic peers’ who seem as well‐qualified as you are – hold beliefs contrary to yours? This article describes motivations that push different philosophers towards opposite answers to this question. It identifies a key theoretical

Epistemic peerhood and the epistemology of disagreement

Philosophical Studies, 2012
In disagreements about trivial matters, it often seems appropriate for disputing parties to adopt a ‘middle ground’ view about the disputed matter. But in disputes about more substantial controversies (e.g. in ethics, religion, or politics) this sort of doxastic conduct can seem viciously acquiescent.
