Tragic Foundationalism

open access: yesMosaic: an interdisciplinary critical journal, 2019
Abstract: This essay puts the modern philosopher Alain Badiou’s theory of foundationalism into dialogue with the early modern playwright William Shakespeare’s Hamlet .

Axiological Foundationalism

Canadian Journal of Philosophy, 1982

Varieties of foundationalism and anti-foundationalism in ethics: a map

2009
In his book Vértigos argumentales, Carlos Pereda proposes a classification of foundationalist and anti-foundationalist theories of epistemic justification and suggests that something similar can be done about practical justification. Here I develop a classification of theories of moral justification in the same terms. Finally, I analyze how what Pereda
