 There are various ways to save the coherence theory from this probabilistic attack. The most radical strategy would be to dismiss the probabilistic framework as altogether unsuitable for coherentism. Independent reasons for this response can be found in Thagard’s work (e.g., Thagard 2000 and 2005). A less radical approach would be to refrain from any blanket dismissal of probability theory in this context but reject one of the premises of the troublesome proof. This is the strategy recently taken by Huemer, who now considers his 1997 probabilistic refutation of coherentism to be mistaken (Huemer 2011, 39, footnote 6). While he thinks that Coherentist Justification correctly captures a minimal sense of coherentism, he reports dissatisfaction with both Conditional Independence and Nonfoundationalism (his term for the latter is “Strong Nonfoundationalism”). Huemer now thinks independence, in the intuitive sense, is better captured by the condition \(P(E_2 \mid E_1, A) \gt P(E_2 \mid E_1, \neg A)\). Moreover, he takes the condition \(P(A \mid E_1, \neg E_2) = P(A)\), or “Weak Nonfoundationalism” in his terminology, to be a more suitable explication of nonfoundationalist intuitions than the condition \(P(A \mid E_1) = P(A)\). He goes on to show that they are jointly consistent with Coherentist Justification: there are probability distributions satisfying all three conditions. Thus the immediate threat to coherentism presented by the observed inconsistency of the three original conditions has been neutralized, even though a critic might point out that the defense is weak since it has not been shown that Coherence Justification follows from the two new conditions.
