Summary/Abstract: Deep disagreement is a disagreement about epistemic principles, pertaining to themethods of justification and argumentation. Relying on Ludwig Wittgenstein’s conceptual metaphor of “hinges,” researchers arrive at the conclusion that deep disagreementcannot be resolved. This conclusion leads to relativism in the theory of argumentation.The aim of the article is to show that in the situation of deep disagreement it is theoretically possible to ascertain which of the positions of the participants of the argument hasa better epistemic status, and hence, is argumentatively virtuous.
