Against Coherence: Truth, Probability, and Justification
Olsson, Erik J. (University of Lund, Sweden)
It is tempting to think that, if a person's beliefs are coherent, they are also likely to be true. This truth-conduciveness claim is the cornerstone of the coherence theory of knowledge and justification. Setting standards of precision and clarity, the author argues that the value of coherence has been widely overestimated.
