How can we justify knowledge? Very roughly:
Foundationalist justification is justification from the origin. We can’t let the argument stray from the source, lest it meander.
Pragmatic justification is justification at the end. We know what is true because it proves true, it works.
Foundationalist justification is “tragic.” Pragmatic justification is comic, eschatological.
