Epistemic Justification: Should It Be Viewed as a Meta-Epistemic Process by Robert Lewis Henry
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Although it is a technical work, weaving in and out of the theories of Foundationalism and Coherentism, this title does an excellent job in not only making epistemological theories readable, but clarifying several points.

The first point it clarifies is the tension between the two primary epistemically justifying theories: Foundationalism and Coherentism.

Another point is its proficiency in presenting a coherent model of the issues in epistemic justification and presenting the problems and their solutions intelligibly. For, many works on the topic tend to 'muddy' the waters, but this manages the exact opposite.

All in all, its conclusion that epistemic justification should be viewed as a metaepistemic process, helps, indeed, relieve tension concerning these competing theories.
