Martin Kusch (Vienna) gives a talk at the MCMP Colloquium (18 April, 2012) titled "Wittgenstein and the Epistemology of Peer Disagreement". Abstract: This paper seeks to reconstruct Wittgenstein's views on the epistemology of peer disagreement, and especially in the realm of religious disagreement. I use recent work by Feldman, Sosa, Lackey and others as foils. I seek to show that Wittgenstein leans towards a relativistic conception of such disagreements.
