چکیده
We explore the outstanding question whether Conciliationism commits one to Uniqueness, and return a negative verdict. After setting out some preliminary matters (§1), we explain and criticize Kelly’s [2010] argument that Conciliationism commits one to Uniqueness (§2), thereby defeating his larger argument that Conciliationism deserves no dialectical special treatment. But this brings no comfort to Conciliationists: we argue that they’re committed to a disjunction, one of whose disjuncts is Uniqueness, that amounts to an extremely strong and unobvious position (§§3–4). If we are correct, theorists should not treat Conciliationism as a default position in debates about the epistemic significance of disagreement.
