Susan Haack’s foundherentism, presented in Evidence and Inquiry, attempts to combine the strengths of foundationalism and coherentism in epistemic justification. By critiquing both traditional approaches, Haack offers an alternative model in which the justification of beliefs depends both on experiential evidence and on coherence with the overall belief system. This study, employing a descriptive-analytical method, examines the theoretical foundations, strengths, and criticisms of foundherentism. The findings indicate that this theory offers significant advantages, including transcending the traditional foundationalism–coherentism dichotomy, flexibility in accommodating new evidence, and the ability to explain the process of scientific inquiry. Nevertheless, serious criticisms have been raised: ambiguity in the role of experience and the risk of reduction to coherentism, the problem of epistemic circularity and possible reduction to weak foundationalism, ambiguity in justification criteria and conflict resolution, and the insufficiency of internalist justification from an externalist perspective. The conclusion is that although foundherentism represents an important step in contemporary epistemology, it faces fundamental challenges as a definitive solution to the problem of epistemic justification.
