Philosophers of well-being have tended to adopt a foundationalist approach to the question of theory and measurement, according to which theories are conceptually prior to measures. By contrast, social scientists have tended to adopt operationalist commitments, according to which they develop and refine well-being measures independently of any ...

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.

Analysis, 2007
In ‘A reductio of coherentism’ Tom Stoneham offers an interesting and novel argument against epistemological coherentism. ‘On the face of it’, he writes, ‘the argument gives a conclusive reductio ad absurdum of any coherence theory of justification. But that cannot be right, can it?’ (2007: 254).

In The Structure of Empirical Knowledge, Laurence BonJour defends a coherence theory of justification as part of a standard analysis of knowledge as justified true belief. Justification attaches first to systems of beliefs, in so far as they are internally coherent, as viewed from the perspective of the subject whose beliefs they are.

AbstractThis chapter examines Davidson's attempt to develop a coherentist response to skepticism within an externalist or reliabilist framework. His position has two main components. The first depends on the principle of charity: In interpreting the utterances of others, we must assume that most of that person's beliefs are true. It thus makes no sense

Foundationalism and Coherentism
2018This chapter examines two classic responses to the epistemic regress problem: foundationalism and coherentism. Foundationalists seek to avoid the regress by invoking the non-inferential justification of basic beliefs, while coherentists do so by introducing a non-linear conception of justification. While both of these positions focus on the possibility

A Reliabilist Foundationalist Coherentism
Erkenntnis, 2011While Process Reliabilism has long been regarded by many as a version of Foundationalism, this paper argues that there is a version of Process Reliabilism that can also been seen as at least a partial vindication of Coherentism as well. The significance of this result lies in what it tells us both about the prospects for a plausible Process Reliabilism,

Abstract Coherentists attempt to solve the problem of infinite regress by rejecting what they sometimes call “the linear conception of knowledge.” Coherentists adopt, instead, a holistic conception of justification. This chapter examines BonJour's efforts to develop a coherentist account of empirical knowledge.
