Antifoundationalism Old and New
Tom Rockmore, Beth J. Singer
The debate over foundationalism, the viewpoint that there  exists some secure foundation upon which to build a system of  knowledge, appears to have been resolved and the antifoundationalists  have at least temporarily prevailed. From a firmly historical  approach, the book traces the foundationalism/antifoundationalism  controversy in the work of many important figures—Animaxander,  Aristotle and Plato, Augustine, Descartes, Hegel and Nietzsche,  Habermas and Chisholm, and others—throughout the history of  philosophy. The contributors, Joseph Margolis, Ronald Polansky, Gary  Calore, Fred and Emily Michael, William Wurzer, Charlene Haddock  Siegfried, Sandra B. Rosenthal, Kathleen Wallace, and the editors  present well the diversity, interest, and roots of  antifoundationalism.
