Title: Mike Ridge
"Disagreement"
Abstract: What is disagreement? The idea looms large in a wide range of
interesting and philosophically important discussions. Most relevant for
present purposes, the expressivist tradition has long emphasized the
intractability of moral disagreement. Here the traditional approach, owing
much to the classic work of Charles Stevenson, is to invoke a distinction
between “disagreement in belief” and “disagreement in attitude.”
Stevenson’s distinction is indeed a useful and natural one for
expressivists. However, I argue against Stevenson’s theory and influential
variations on his approach. Partly inspired by some of the problems facing
the Stevensonian approach, Allan Gibbard has developed a different
expressivist conception of normative disagreement - disagreement in plan,
rather than disagreement in attitude. I argue that Gibbard’s approach
suffers from serious problems of its own. I then develop and defend an
alternative expressivism-friendly account of normative disagreement, and of
disagreement in general: “disagreement in prescription.”
