Laurence Bonjour¨s Coherence Theory and Epistemology of Empirical Belifs.

Author

Abstract

Among the internalistic views about the sufficient and necessary conditions of the justification, Coherentism is one of the views against which we are confronted with Foundationalism. In the present essay the view of one of the contemporary epistemologists, Laurence Bonjour, is to be explained. Bonjour, initially deals with the epistemology of perceptual beliefs and tries to establish justification of perceptual beliefs according to his attitude in epistemology, that is Coherentism. The author of the essay while describing the views of Bonjour, holds that the view in question can not satisfy the conditions necessary for justified belief.
