O knihe
This book critically examines Susan Haack's foundherentist theory of epistemic justification. It identifies four issues with this theory: the issues of theoretic necessity, novelty, superiority and adequacy. The issue of theoretic necessity deals with the question of the need for a theory of justification such as foundherentism; that of novelty is concerned with the originality of foundherentism; that of superiority weighs it alongside other theories of epistemic justification; and that of adequacy deals with the question of whether or not it definitively resolves the problems associated with justification as it claims. Using the philosophical methods of exposition and analysis, we argue that foundherentism is a necessary, new, superior, but an inadequate theory of epistemic justification. Our claim that the foundherentist theory is inadequate necessitates the push for its modification that forms the concluding part of this work.
