Philosophers debate how knowledge is justified, with Foundationalism, Coherentism, Infinitism, and Skepticism being the main approaches. Foundationalism, which posits that some beliefs are known without reasons, is the most popular view among philosophers. The author discusses Phenomenal Conservatism, a flavor of Foundationalism, which suggests that if something appears to be true, it provides justification for believing it, unless there are reasons to doubt it.
