Foundherentism

In epistemology, foundherentism is a theory of justification that combines elements from two rival theories about infinite regress—foundationalism and coherentism—while addressing their respective problems of arbitrariness and circularity (problems raised by the Münchhausen trilemma). It was developed and defended by Susan Haack in her 1993 work Evidence and Inquiry: Towards Reconstruction in Epistemology.
