Unanimous Consensus Against AGM?

Stewart, Rush T. (13. Oktober 2017): Unanimous Consensus Against AGM? In: Thought: A Journal of Philosophy, Bd. 6, Nr. 4: S. 222-231

Abstract

Given the role consensus is supposed to play in the social aspects of inquiry and deliberation, it is important that we may always identify a consensus as the basis of joint inquiry and deliberation. However, it turns out that if we think of an agent revising her beliefs to reach a consensus, then, on the received view of belief revision, AGM belief revision theory, certain simple and compelling consensus positions are not always available.
