¿Es relevante lo "dado" para la justificación?

Abstract

My purpose in this essay is to bring to light the role played by experience in the justification process of empirical knowledge. Contemporary debate is dominated by two antagonistic sides: on one extreme we have the foundationalist empiricists for whom experience, the Given, is the epistemic foundation of all knowledge; and on the other extreme we have the coherentists who reject that experience has any room in the justification process. This paper attempts to present an alternative model of justification that gathers the virtues of both sides.
