Abstract
The paper investigates whether positing libertarian free will gives us the epistemic right to regard our philosophical beliefs as rational even in the light of permanent and pervasive disagreement between philosophers. I argue that if free will is one of the main sources of philosophical beliefs, then there is no reason to consider them as reliable. Therefore, it is hard to see how free will would make sustaining our philosophical beliefs rational in the face of disagreement between philosophers.
