Abstract
Scientists often find themselves in disagreement with their peers, yet continue to hold fast to their views. While Conciliationism, a prominent position in the epistemology of disagreement, condemns such steadfastness as epistemically irrational, philosophers of science often defend it as rationally permissible–indeed, even beneficial for scientific progress. This tension gives rise to what we call the puzzle of scientific disagreement.
