Nathan Ballantyne, E.J. Coffman: Uniqueness and Equal Weight (pdf, 19 pages)
Two theses are central to recent work on the epistemology of disagreement: Equal Weight (‘EW’): In cases of epistemic peer disagreement, one should give equal weight to the attitude of a peer and to one’s own attitude.1 Uniqueness (‘U’): For any given proposition and total body of evidence, some doxastic attitude is the one the evidence makes rational (justifies) toward that proposition.
