Foundationalism is a view about the structure of knowledge and
justification. The heart of the thesis is the claim that if there
is any knowledge or justified belief at all, then there is a kind
of knowledge and justified belief that does not require inference
from something else known or justifiably believed. This Element
begins by exploring abstract arguments for foundationalism and
against proposed alternatives. It then explores disagreements among
foundationalists about how to understand foundational knowledge and
justified belief, what is plausibly included in the foundations,
and what is required for legitimate inference from foundations to
the rest of what we believe. The author argues for the conclusion
that one can combine insights captured by different versions of
foundationalism by making a distinction between ideal justification
and justification that falls short of that ideal.
