Abstract

This article starts from Chris & Thirza's general summary of Theories of Deep Disagreement, critically reflects on the concept of Deep Disagreement and the concept of Disagreement, re-examines the causes of Deep Disagreement in a different way from Chris & Thirza, and explores the possible advantages of Deep Disagreement some features. This kind of questioning starts from my original concept of The Same Problem, and then discusses the Popular Opinion about Disagreement. Finally, return to Wittgenstein's Private Language Problem and Other Minds Problem, so as to lead to my original concept of Private Viewing Difference and redefine the concept of Deep Disagreement.
