Conciliationism is a view in the epistemology of disagreement according to which one should revise one's opinions closer to one's epistemic peers in the face of epistemic disagreement.
[4] Some have discussed the implications of this view for religious belief.
[5] A standard objection is that conciliationism is self-undermining because most philosophers do not accept it.
[7][8] A second objection is that if a person encounters multiple people who disagree, and applies conciliationism serially, the procedure violates commutativity.
The order that the person encounters the other people affects her resultant doxastic state.
