摘要: In this paper we propose and analyze a game-theoretic model of the epistemology peer disagreement. model, peers' rationality is evaluated in terms their probability ending disagreement with true belief. We find that different strategies---in particular, one based on Steadfast View Conciliatory View---are rational depending truth-sensitivity individuals involved Interestingly, Views can even be simultaneously some circumstances. tentatively provide reasons to favor such cases. argue perspective fruitful debate, fruitfulness has not been exhausted by present paper.
