epistemology of disagreement

Epistemology of disagreement is the study of how we should change our beliefs when we learn that someone who is knowledgeable and reasonably rational disagrees with us. It explores questions like whether we should stick to our original view or reconsider it upon hearing opposing perspectives. This area examines the standards for revising beliefs in light of others’ differing opinions, recognizing that disagreement is common and raises important questions about justification, trust, and humility in our pursuit of truth.
