 There continues, however, to be significant debate on whether exclusivists are under an obligation to engage in such belief assessment. Some philosophers agree with Robert McKim that “disagreement about an issue or area of inquiry provides reason to think that each side has an obligation to examine beliefs about the issue” (McKim 2001, 140). The underlying assumption here is that when perspectives on any issue, be they personal, social, economic, political, or religious, have important consequences for that person or others, then individuals are under an obligation to find the truth of the matter—to maximize truth. Individuals, in this case religious exclusivists, can only attempt to maximize truth or avoid error in the face of diverse claims, it is argued, if they attempt to resolve the conflict.
