Now it is time for the critics of foundationalism to present their cases. This is a free-ranging follow-up meeting to discuss "Staging Foundationalism" and "Building Knowledge" (Jan. 31 (https://www.meetup.com/The-San-Diego-Philosophers-Roundtable/events/100774672/), Feb. 7 (https://www.meetup.com/The-San-Diego-Philosophers-Roundtable/events/102472562/), Feb. 14 (https://www.meetup.com/The-San-Diego-Philosophers-Roundtable/events/102475162/)).

Proponents of coherentism, reliabilism, and antirealism have criticized foundationalism on various technical features of its theory of justification, as they understand it. What are these features? How have they been attacked? Are they defeasible?

Rebuttally, what are the presuppositions of the critics' arguments? Are they valid? Are their premises coherent, reliable, justifiable, true, supportive, interpretive, meaningful, powerful?
