Dr. Anna Edmonds (University of Michigan) will offer a thrilling talk on how to rationally update on disagreements with moral peers about value claims.

We frequently disagree about moral and value judgments. How should we proceed rationally when we discover that someone we take to be just as well informed and just as good a reasoner and just as wise as we are disagrees with us? Is her disagreement itself evidence that our own conclusion might be wrong? Typically, it would be in the case of something like a mathematical calculation. If I calculated the tip for a bill and then a friend I took to be equally skilled at mathematics also calculated the tip and we both came up with different answers, we should both go back and check our work. But is it different in the moral case?
