| adam_text | Discovering that someone disagrees with you is a common occurrence, but
how does discovering that another person disagrees with you about something
affect the rationality of your beliefs on that topic? This is the question of the
epistemic significance of disagreement, which Matheson seeks to answer
here. Beginning with a survey of the literature on this issue, Matheson maps
out the conceptual space, presents the central examples, and explains the key
arguments. At the same time, he develops and defends a particular account
of the epistemic significance of disagreement - a version of the Equal Weight
View. Compared to previous discussions of the epistemic significance of
disagreement, this book extends beyond idealized cases of peer disagreement
to real-life cases of disagreement and in so doing offers the reader a more
complete view of the topic.
Jonathan Matheson is Assistant Professor of philosophy at the University
of North Florida, USA. He works mainly in epistemology and has published
articles in journals including Philosophical Studies, Episteme, and Social
Epistemology. He is also the co-editor (with Rico Vitz) of The Ethics of Belief:
Individual and Social.
