, 2022 Perhaps the most fundamental question of epistemology asks on what grounds our knowledge of the world ultimately rests. The traditional Cartesian answer is that it rests on indubitable facts arrived at through rational insight or introspection. Coherentists reject this answer, claiming instead that knowledge arises from relations of coherence or mutual

AbstractThis chapter explains moral coherentism as the view that some moral beliefs are justified by virtue of cohering with a system of belief that is coherent in the sense that it is consistent, connected, and comprehensive. Second-order beliefs about reliability are introduced to handle standard objections to coherentism. It concludes that coherence

, 2013 This paper aims to show what makes coherentism as an epistemological position attractive in comparison to its main competitor, foundationalism. It also aims to show that, from a general epistemological point of view, constraint satisfaction is not the most attractive way to give content to the notion of coherence.

Abstract In this chapter, I consider coherentism taken generally (rather than this or that particular variety of coherentism), and argue that it does not afford the resources for a satisfactory account of warrant. We can better understand coherentism, I think, by contrasting it with foundationalism; I accordingly begin with an ...

Abstract The method of reflective equilibrium is a special case of explanatory-coherentist epistemology. This chapter defends explanatory coherentism against pertinent objections: Keith Lehrer’s problem regarding the data base; the charge of unacceptable conservatism; Stich’s threat of relativism; Goldman’s problem of wild and crazy ...

Abstract In this chapter, I explain and critically examine Laurence BonJour's version of coherentism, as presented in his The Structure of Empirical Knowledge. Speaking roughly, BonJour holds that an empirical belief has warrant only if it is an element in a system of beliefs that is coherent in the long run.

Providing Foundations for Coherentism
Erkenntnis, 1999The authors bring some simple formal considerations to bear on the discussion of coherentism as a philosophy of knowledge. Coherentists insist on the importance of the internal coherence of a belief system for its justification, minimizing (sometimes to the point of denying) the role of links with an external world.
