- Title
What's NOT Wrong with Foundationalism.
- Authors
Bergmann, Michael
- Abstract
One thing all forms of foundationalism have in common is that they hold that a belief can be justified noninferentially—i.e., that its justification need not depend on its being inferred from some other justified (or unjustified) belief. In some recent publications, Peter Klein argues that in virtue of having this feature, all forms of foundationalism are infected with an unacceptable arbitrariness that makes it irrational to be a practicing foundationalist. In this paper, I will explain why his objections to foundationalism fail.
