    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Circular reasoning occurs when a principle assumes what it aims to establish, undermining argumentative force.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Coherence of domain objects is genuinely contested in many fields, making it an inappropriate foundation assumption.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Sound methodology requires explicit justification of foundational assumptions before applying them to uncertain terrain.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.All principles necessarily assume some coherence; rejecting this assumption makes rational inquiry impossible.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Distinguishing 'assuming coherence' from 'using coherence as a working hypothesis' reveals the claim oversimplifies.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.The claim's own intelligibility depends on coherence assumptions, creating self-undermining pragmatic contradiction.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
