BonJour Dancy...

(Originally Written September 24, 2006 in Epistemology)

BonJour:

Strong foundationalism - foundational beliefs have strong warrant
Weak foundationalism - foundational beliefs have low degree of warrant

Two attempted solutions to solve the regress problem:
1) Externalism
2) Cognitive Givenism

Coherentist theory of justification fits better with actual practice
Coherentist theory of justification offers a better account of the justification principles of inference
Coherentist theory of justification supports the notion that knowledge is a social phenomenon

Dancy:

Beliefs have
1. Antecedent Security
2. Subsequent security
