Coherentism in Rorty’s anti-foundationalist epistemology

Abstract

The primary objective of this paper is to investigate whether Rorty endorses coherentism, the view that justification is a matter of a belief’s coherent relationship with other beliefs. Rorty in his anti-foundationalist epistemology shows a frequent inclination to express his view as coherentist. But does he actually subscribe to coherentism? I argue that he does not.
