Abstract
By Richard Bradley
There are broadly speaking 3 ways in which consensus can be achieved:
- inquiry
- aggregation
- deliberation
This talk will explore the connection between the second and third and in particular the view of Lehrer and Wagner that rational agents should (almost) always reach a consensus.
