13. Knowledge Criteria / B. Internal Justification / 5. Coherentism / b. Pro-coherentism

17660	Discovery is often just finding a fit, like a jigsaw puzzle [Goodman]
	Full Idea: Discovery often amounts, as when I place a piece in a jigsaw puzzle, not to arrival at a proposition for declaration or defense, but to finding a fit.
	From: Nelson Goodman (Ways of Worldmaking [1978], 1.7)
	A reaction: I find Goodman's views here pretty alien, but I like this bit. Coherence really rocks.
