Moral Disagreement and Disagreement about Taste
In this seminar, Torfinn Huvenes seeks an answer to the question: What, if any, are the differences between moral disagreements and disagreements about taste?
Main content
What, if any, are the differences between moral disagreements and disagreements about taste? I argue that one difference has to do with the epistemology of disagreement. More specifically, it has to do with when it is correct to revise one’s judgement in the face of disagreement. I then argue that the best explanation for this difference is that disagreements about taste can be faultless, but moral disagreements cannot be faultless. Finally, I use this as a basis for drawing some further conclusions about the nature of moral disagreement and disagreement about taste.
