The Limits of Faultless Disagreement
Some have argued that the possibility of faultless disagreement gives relativist semantic theories an important explanatory advantage over their absolutist and contextualist rivals.

The non-alethic approach is broadly expressivist in that it endorses both the...

Thus, we introduce another natural generalization of the consensus problem, namely, bounded disagreement (BD), which limits the number of processes that decide differ...
