Feeling this diagram critiquing the #foundationalism so many of my former #fundamentalists used to structure their claims.

William #Whewell's notion of #Consilience is often mentioned in this connection. It was later picked up by #EOWilson.

#Peirce's #Pragmatism takes some pains to side-step the superficial dichotomy between #Objectivism or #Foundationalism and #Coherentism or #Consensualism.

Susan #Haack, for instance, tries to integrate them in her concept of #Foundherentism.
