| dc.description.abstract | It is often assumed that disagreement only occurs when
there is a clash (e.g., inconsistency) between beliefs. In the
philosophical literature, this “narrow” view has sometimes
been considered the obvious, intuitively correct view. In
this paper, we argue that it should not be. We have con ducted two preregistered studies gauging English speakers’
intuitions about whether there is disagreement in a case
where the parties have non-clashing beliefs and clashing
intentions. Our results suggest that common intuitions tell
against the default view. Ordinary speakers describe clashes
of intentions as disagreements, suggesting that the ordinary
concept of disagreement is “wide” in that it extends beyond
beliefs. | vi |
