Abstract
Disagreement is, for better or worse, pervasive in our society. Not only do we form beliefs that differ from those around us, but increasingly we have platforms and opportunities to voice those disagreements and make them public. In light of the public nature of many of our most important disagreements, a key question emerges: How does public disagreement affect what we know? This volume collects original essays from a number of prominent scholars - including Catherine Elgin, Sanford Goldberg, Jennifer Lackey, Michael Patrick Lynch and Duncan Pritchard, among others - to address this question in its diverse forms.
