William Rozeboom

William Rozeboom is a philosopher known for his work on coherentism, a theory in epistemology that suggests beliefs gain justification from their connections to other beliefs rather than from foundational, unquestionable beliefs. Coherentism asserts that a belief is justified if it fits well within a larger, consistent system of beliefs. Rozeboom contributed to this discussion by emphasizing the importance of coherence and the interconnectedness of knowledge. His insights help us understand how we form beliefs and justify them based on the network of ideas we hold, rather than relying solely on indisputable foundations.
