13. Knowledge Criteria / B. Internal Justification / 4. Foundationalism / b. Basic beliefs

19719	'Moderate' foundationalism has basic justification which is defeasible [Grundmann]
	Full Idea: Theories that combine basic justification with the defeasibility of this justification are referred to as 'moderate' foundationalism.
	From: Thomas Grundmann (Defeasibility Theory [2011], 'Significance')
	A reaction: I could be more sympathetic to this sort of foundationalism. But it begins to sound more like Neurath's boat (see Quine) than like Descartes' metaphor of building foundations.
