Abstract

In this article we suggest that the research area of epistemology of disagreement should be critically applied to the problem of describing multi-experts multi-criteria decision-making (ME-MCDM), while providing an epistemic conceptualization of experts as epistemic peers. We explore some preliminary outcomes of using Dung’s computational framework for argumentation in ME-MCDM with conceptual considerations on the role of formal constraints and rationality approaches for epistemic peer disagreement, such as provided by David Christensen [2], inclusive of epistemic and pragmatic rationality, synchronic and diachronic rationality, and global and local aspects thereof.
