coherentism

According to the kind of coherentism we considered above, if your perceptual experiences are a source of justification for you, it must be the case that you have considered the matter and believe them to be reliable.

Epistemology Steup, Matthias 2005

A problem for negative coherentism (and hence for simple foundationalism) is that a belief that is unjustified when formed will become justified simply in virtue of being stored in memory.

Epistemological Problems of Memory Senor, Thomas D. 2009

For reasons that will presently become apparent, we will consider the problems of simple foundationalism when we discuss negative coherentism.

Epistemological Problems of Memory Senor, Thomas D. 2009

In this section, we will discuss foundationalism, coherentism, deontological theories, and reliabilism as well as the relevance of internalist and externalist considerations for the justification of memory belief.

Epistemological Problems of Memory Senor, Thomas D. 2009

Both varieties of the coherence theory can be understood in a way that allows them to avoid the problem we noted for experiential foundationalism: each can be taken as a theory of justification for memory beliefs, both dispositional and occurrent (and since negative coherentism and simple foundationalism are essentially the same theory, we will consider simple foundationalism here as well).

(For a defense of negative coherentism see Harman 1986 and McGrath 2007; for a critical discussion see Senor 1995.)

Notice that the same kind of case will show a similar difficulty for positive coherentism.

This historical nature of justifiedness implied by process reliabilism contrasts sharply with traditional theories like foundationalism and coherentism, which are

Reliabilism Goldman, Alvin 2008

In recent years metaphysical arguments for coherentism have found few advocates.

The Coherence Theory of Truth Young, James O. 2008

If moral intuitionism, coherentism, naturalism, or normativism works to justify some moral beliefs and/or to rule out moral nihilism, then this will undermine the crucial premises in the arguments for moral skepticism.
